Self Driving Pickup

This is a computer controled 1983 dodge ram pickup. It has a motor connected to the steering wheel, it still needs a human to control speed.

For those of you that where thinking, that can't be real, here is how this thing works.

There are sensors mounted to the outside of the truck, when an obstacle is sensed by the sensors, a motor is activated that is mounted on the floor and turns a rope that turns the steering wheel. The wheel is turned back to the normal position when the obstacle is out of the way. If the obstacle cannot be avoided then a motor that is attached to the break pedal is activated, and will put the truck in manual mode.
