Volkswagen has unveiled a fully automatic prototype car that can drive itself at up to 150 mph.

The “Golf GTi 53 plus 1” has radar and laser sensors to “read” the road and send the details back to its computer brain. A satellite navigation system tracks its exact position. It was developed initially to help Volkswagen engineers test their vehicles.
