Sophisticated Car Made in Google
This concept was developed by Google, the car that can automatically run itself without any driver. The Google engineers have test driven the car automatically in the streets of California. The cars were using the camera on its roof, radar sensors, and lasers to see other traffic users, as announced Google software engineer, Sebastian Thrun.
Indeed there are still drivers who were trained in the car as well as software experts, ready to take over control if necessary. Google hopes the cars they could someday will reduce traffic congestion and reduce traffic accidents. In the company's official blog, Thrun said the cars that run itself so far has been exploring the 140,000 miles of roads. They also have crossed the bridge of San Francisco's famous Golden Gate, tackling street up and down, passing from one office to another Google office, and around Lake Tahoe in one go.
Told The New York Times, the engineers say that the high-speed travel on roads is generally problem free, but one car was hit from behind at a red light. Route the cars were already planned and maps compiled by the driver while the police got the information first.
Thrun citing figures from the World Health Organization, WHO, which shows more than 1.2 million people were killed on the highway each year worldwide and that number should be reduced. "We believe our technology has the potential to reduce it, perhaps by half."
"This project is still in experimental stages, but it provides insights on how transport in the future and it is possible for an advanced computer science. The future is very encouraging, "he said. Google lately quickly to expand outward from the core business of internet search system. The industry is now paying attention to the service location, via Google Maps and Google Street View.
