On a recent PBS program "Scientific American Discoveries" or Frontiers
(can't recall which) hosted by Alan Alda, Mercedes Benz research was
profiled.  In the profile, a vehicle which could navigate the high way
and recognize obstacles was shown.  The system was real time and could
run as fast as 50kph (as I recall).  You may try a library search for 
any published research that MB made on this particular ongoing research.

Hope this helps..
