First Google Self-Driving Car
“We’re now developing prototypes of vehicles that have been designed from the ground up to drive themselves”
The first Google self-driving car prototype has been tested for test drive at Mountain View, California by the volunteers outside from Google team, this automated car use video cameras, radar sensors and a laser range finder to “see” other traffic, as well as detailed maps (which collected using manually driven vehicles) to navigate the road ahead. This is all made possible by Google’s data centers, which can process the enormous amounts of information gathered by the cars when mapping their terrain.
What unique about this car is design to operate safely and autonomously without requiring human intervention. They won’t have a steering wheel, accelerator pedal, or brake pedal because it all controlled by the software and the sensor.
“According to the World Health Organization, more than 1.2 million lives are lost every year in road traffic accidents”
This vehicle will be very basic just push a button they will take where you want to go and that is a step toward improving road safety and transforming mobility for millions people.
