Test Driving Google’s Driverless Car [Cars]

That driverless car Google’s been working on ? Good Morning America spent a while behind the wheel. They even played chicken with it.

The car’s already traveled 140,000 miles, counting on cameras and a scanning laser to do the driving so you don’t should. You only tell it your destination and it plots a route for you, allowing for speed limits and traffic patterns. A Google engineer describes it as ” Super Cruise Control,” the way to augment your experience as opposed to usurp it. Although section of me is pretty sure that if I had this function available to me, I’d never turn it off.

The bad news: Google’s not anywhere practically even fascinated by retail at this point, and despite the fact that they did the value can be astronomical. Besides, I’m sure they’re just using the time beyond regulation to decide find out how to make this baby fly. [ Daily IQ ]
