Google has just announced a technology development that allows a car to run automatically without a driver, even in the middle of a crowded vehicle. Project led by Dr. Thurn has been tested by going around the Google campus in Mountain View to Google offices in Santa Monica to Hollywood Boulevard and various other places. Overall, the automatic car has been tested up to a distance of more than 140,000 miles.
To control the automatic car, a video camera, radar sensor, and laser distance tracking are used to detect traffic and detailed maps that are collected manually via a driving vehicle to navigate the road ahead and stored in Google's data center. This navigation technology was developed with the best engineers obtained through DARPA Challenges, an automatic vehicle race competition organized by the US government.
During testing by Google, this latest automatic car vehicle had never had a collision accident. To ensure safety, the vehicle is always boarded by a trained security driver who can move if needed at any time. In addition, trained software operators are also placed in the passenger seat to monitor the software used. Basically, the software will 'learn' from the route and road conditions that are passed such as knowing the traffic signs and road lines so that the previous car can adapt to the characteristics of the road to be passed.
Latest Car Technology with computers
Google hopes this technology will reduce the risk of road accidents by at least half. With this automatic vehicle, users will also be able to share vehicles and automatically reduce the volume of traffic density and the level of energy consumption and pollution.
This technology still needs development. NYT estimates that it will still take at least eight years for this technology to be used en masse. Will technology like the Knight Rider film be realized?
Technologically, Google really shows its might. Some time ago it launched the google music service, and this time "Google's Latest Technology Automatic Car Without Driver" we just wait for the next breakthrough from the search engine giant.
