Aptiv's self-driving BMW is totally boring

But boring is high praise when you're talking about a car that humans programmed to drive itself through the bustle of Las Vegas Strip traffic. Aptiv, the recently renamed mobility arm of Delphi, has put together a car that's generally free of hiccups and actually does a good job of emulating how a human would drive.
Aptiv's BMW 5 Series doesn't look all that different from a standard 5er, with a few key exceptions. Hidden under the bodywork are more than a dozen sensors -- long-range and short-range lidar sensors, radar emitters and cameras, all playing together to give the car a "view" of the road ahead.
