A Driverless Vehicles, What's your take? by tsmall(m): 9:43pm On Sep 03, 2014
Story by (CNN) -- Driving a lorry or a truck across the country isn't easy. In the United States, by law truckers have to take a break after 11 consecutive hours. In Britain, the maximum driving time is nine hours per day. But imagine a world where trucks drive through the night without ever stopping. There's no need for Alomo bitter, gedi ,Weed or a nap, and yet there are never any accidents. That's because these trucks don't actually have any drivers. The age of the driverless vehicle is upon us. Some famous names have been developing and testing prototypes with the aim of making them commercially viable. Google, a pioneer in the field, started its self-driving car project in 2009 and its autonomous vehicles completed 100,000 miles (about 161,000 kilometers) on public roads 18 months later.

The United Kingdom recently allowed the vehicles on the road, joining California, Florida and Nevada in the United States in changing the laws to accommodate the new technology.

Now am thinking of Self-driving car in Nigeria, why not?
