Cool. Never met a programmer who was autonomous.

Anyway: One possible solution is a combination of line following and odometry - that is, measuring distance traveled. Encoders on your wheels/gearbox/sprockets/gears can tell you how far the robot has traveled. You know you need to travel about xx feet before you'll see the split/end of the line/whatever. Use that in your code to your advantage....

In the past, many autonomous robots worked by 'dead reckoning' - simple odometry - to move to a specific location. e.g., Move forward 13 feet, turn right for 0.7 seconds, then move forward 4 more feet....

Hope this helps.
