Following (light): confirmed Sebastian Thorne, a software engineer at Google, that Google Ojot tests on a car traveling self without a driver in the streets of California, through the cameras have been installed on the roof of the car, sensors Radaraip, as well as the range finder laser through which can determine the distance from other cars.
The Thorne, said Eng Thorne, in a blog on the company official, said the test was carried out the existence of a driver coach ready to take the lead in the car together with an expert software in each car, explaining that the car-Self has come so far a distance of 140 thousand miles, which crossed the the famous Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, and walked among the various Google services and around Lake Tahoe.
The Thorne, a professor of computer science and electrical engineering at Stanford University in a blog on the Google site, that "safety" was the first priority in the project.
He pointed to statistics from the World Health Organization says that more than 1.2 million people are killed annually in road accidents, he said, stressing: "We believe that our technologies have a new possibility to reduce this figure by perhaps half."
For their part, emphasized the company's engineers that the tests of these cars on the highways had been without incident, except for one incident when one of these cars hit from behind at the stop in one of the traffic signals.
Google hopes to help this type of car to reduce traffic congestion and reducing the number of traffic accidents.
It is worth mentioning that Google has branched out quickly about the company's Google parent in recent years, and the company's concerns today in a prominent location-based services through Google Maps and review of the streets provided by Google.
