Look, no hands

Post by Thuganomics »

Google has received permission from the Nevada state Department of Motor Vehicles to begin testing a fleet of driverless cars on public streets

The unique red plate will be easily recognized by the public and law enforcement and will be used only for licensed autonomous test vehicles."

Google's driveless cars were approved only after a special DMV delegation thoroughly reviewed the company's "safety plans, employee training, system functions and accident reporting mechanisms."

Each car bristles with a range of sensors and computer equipment, which can sense obstacles such as other cars, bicycles, and guardrails.

The system permits a human driver to take control by stepping on the brake or turning the wheel.

Google says it hopes to market the technology to auto manufacturers. It combines artificial intelligence software, a global positioning system and an array of sensors to navigate its way through traffic.

The DMV says other companies have indicated their desire to test and develop autonomous technology. “Google has a lot of competition,” Jacobs said.

I heard about this couple of days ago but I think there are two people inside that car in the video, right? If you look through the rear windshield between 0:05 - 0:22 you can see 2 individuals in the car. And that makes it un-driverless. < Is that even a word? :lol:

Google does not respect privacy.

I got a letter from Google yesterday in the mail. Somehow they got my home address and full name. I never put my full name for anything over the internet. Has this happened to anyone else?

wtf :|

LOL! I didn't think of it in that way. But since they were testing it for the first time I thought it would be driver-less at all. :lol:
