Can you imagine if cars can talk to each other wirelessly and avoid collisions no matter how stupid the driver? not pay extra for a collision avoidance system? I think it is just a matter of time before computers replace humans as the drivers on our highways. The only real issue at this point is cost.

Before, surgeons would have to use a metal frame — which was actually screwed into the patient’s skull — to target the radiation. That made the treatment impractical for many patients, especially children.
