Google’s Auto-automobile hits the road
I guess this solves the text-while driving problem!
“Google announced this weekend that it has been driving automated cars around California’s roads, and that the vehicles have already logged about 140,000 miles. A fully automated car just finished a big trip,all the way from Google’s campus in Mountain View, California to Hollywood… A Google car drives with the help of a variety of sensors,including cameras on the roof and in front, radars, and laser range finders,which build a detailed map of the car’s surroundings. This information is transmitted to the Google servers and processed to detect and react to any obstacles that get in the car’s way, mimicking the decisions a human driver would make.”
