Google gets ready to rev up driverless cars

Written By Unknown on Kamis, 29 Mei 2014 | 18.38

Google announced its latest "moonshot" yesterday — a fully autonomous, driverless car — saying it hopes to have hundreds of prototypes on the roads a year from now.

The cars have no steering wheels, gas pedals or brake pedals, Google said. Instead, the cars will rely on a combination of sensors, cameras and software to start, stop and navigate traffic.

"We'll have two seats (with seat belts), a space of passengers' belongings, buttons to start and stop, and a screen that shows the route — and that's about it," the company wrote in a blog post. The cars' speed is capped at 25 mph, and drivers will start testing prototypes that do have manual controls later this summer.

Still, MIT professor John Leonard, who works on autonomous vehicles, said driver­less cars weaving in and out of traffic across the country are probably decades away.

"The technical challenges are pretty big in terms of what remains," Leonard said. "There's a lot of questions, but what they've done is amazing."
