- "Electronic Control of Motor Vehicles on the Highway," 1957-1958 - In the late 1950s, RCA experimented with a system that guided a car -- without input from a driver -- along a highway via electromagnetic circuits buried under the road surface. Partnering with General Motors and the State of Nebraska, RCA built a 400-foot-long working prototype road near Lincoln, Nebraska. But RCA's system was too expensive for practical use.
