Google has built a car that can drive themselves without a driver. This car was last tested on more than 100 thousand miles on public roads and almost no significant obstacles.
The experiment, conducted in San Francisco by car Toyota Prius, and almost zero-accident. Single accident that happened was when the car was bumped from behind by another vehicle at traffic lights.
This is the latest development in an effort to design an accident-free vehicles. Currently, many vehicles have a parking system advanced and applied from other technologies that aim to prevent collisions.
Car without driver is run with the help of a video camera mounted on the roof. with a radar sensor technology, laser finder will be able to detect traffic in front of him.
Before the run, the route has been determined in advance and was first mapped by a "driver".
According to Sebastian Thrun, a software engineer behind this project, a number of cars has taken part in the experiment that has successfully traveled 140 thousand miles.
According to the World Health Organization, 1.2 million people were killed on the highway around the world every year. The majority of accidents, they say, is due to human error (human error).
"We believe our technology has the potential to reduce that number, perhaps as much as half," Thrun wrote in his blog.
