Wow!!! Google Unveils First Self-driving Car by MiracleDgreat(m): 1:33pm On Dec 23, 2014 |
[img]http://africansgist.com/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=196.0;attach=130;image[/img] Wow what an invention from google, its absolutely awesome. Google unveiled its first "fully functional" self-driving car on Monday, the company said. "Today we're unwrapping the best holiday gift we could've imagined: The first real build of our self-driving vehicle prototype," the statement on the company's Google Plus social media site said. Google announced in May it would develop its own self-driving vehicles, which would use an array of sensors and computers to navigate streets without a driver at the controls. "Since then, we've been working on different prototypes-of-prototypes, each designed to test different systems of a self-driving car," the company said. Those specialised prototypes included models to test steering and braking, as well as computers and sensors. "We've now put all those systems together in this fully functional vehicle - our first complete prototype for fully autonomous driving," Google said. Test drivers will, however, continue to use manual controls "as needed" as they develop the vehicles, the company said. Google teased real-world testing of the car in the near future: "We hope to see you on the streets of Northern California in the new year." but i wonder how it will be on our Nigerian roads, with static traffic jam lol http://africansgist.com/car-talk/wow!!!-google-unveils-first-self-driving-car/ |

This won't work in Nigeria because of the pot holes and out-of-this world hold up plus nepa will never leave constant power that will be enough to keep all systems running perfectly. |
