Google Trial Without Automatic Car Drive

What if we have to ride a car without driving, this is a concept developed by Google. Cars that can run itself automatically without any driver. The Google engineers have carried out tests automatically driven car on the streets of California. Mobol-car on its roof that uses a camera, radar sensors, and lasers to see penguna other traffic, such as the announced Google software engineer, Sebastian Thrun.

Indeed, there are still drivers who were trained in the car as well as software experts, who are ready to take over control if necessary. Goggle expect their cars could one day will reduce the density of traffic and reduce the rate of traffic accidents.

In the company's official blog, Thrun said the cars that run themselves so far been explored tersebDetailsut 140 000 miles of streets. They also have crossed the bridge of San Francisco's famous Golden Gate, to overcome the up and down streets, across from a Google office to another 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, except for one car that 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 because of advanced computer science. The future is very encouraging, "he said. Google recently 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.
