Video of the Week: Your Ride is Here

Have you seen those commercials for the cars that parallel park themselves? It’s pretty impressive, and just one step toward our future of self-driving automobiles. But will our cars ever come pick us up when we whistle to them? In this week’s featured video, a horse named JD does all of this and probably more. We have no way of knowing for sure how he got tacked up, but we’re just going to assume that he did that on his own, too.

My question is, who saddled and bridled the horse??? But he's well trained and loves his rider.
