Like the James Bond filmmakers closing the Thames or Top Gear persuading Marines to use a car as a landing craft, Google can get away with automatically-driven cars because of its reputation On Saturday evening, in a quiet, understated post on its official blog, Google’s engineers nonchalantly announced that not only had they invented self-driving cars, but that those cars were already among us. “Our self-driving cars have logged over 140,000 miles,” wrote Sebastian Thrun, a Google ‘Distinguished Software Engineer’

We heard back at IFA that Sony was making the absolutely brilliant move of incorporating a market leading navigational system into its Xplod line of in-dash A/V units, and now that love is being shipped across the Atlantic (or the Pacific, if you’re taking the scenic route) in the form of the XNV-770BT and XNV-660BT.

Digg We got an early look at TomTom’s Go Live 1000 navigation unit back in April, and it looks like you’ll soon finally be able to get your hands on it as well — if you’re in Europe, that is. The company’s just announced that the 4.3-inch GPS will be available this month, and will soon be followed by the Go Live 1005 in October, which adds a larger 5-inch screen. One of the big selling points here is that both screens are of the capacitive variety (complete with TomTom’s so-called “Fluid Touch”), and you’ll also get a nifty new magnetic windshield mount that lets you easily remove the device when you leave the car
