Google tests driverless car in California
May 14, 2014 • Updated at 11h13
The first trials in more urban areas occur on the streets of Mountain View, California.
Multinational Google is investing in new automotive technology that can
change the lives of many people. This is a car that does not need to be
guided by a driver. The company seeks to develop an efficient and
secure model.
In 2012, the company had already released a video in which tested a model of autonomous car, check below. Technology assessments always occurred on roads - where unpredictable situations are more difficult to occur.
Now Google says that perfected the software to hundreds of objects can be detected simultaneously. Thus, tests can be extended to the regions in which the car will probably be designed: the big cities.
The first trials in more urban areas occur on the streets of Mountain View, California, United States. On the company blog, the project director of driverless cars, Chris Urmson, said that with the development of technology was possible to include "Pedestrians, bus, a signal 'stop' held by a guard or a cyclist making gestures that indicate a can turn "simulate possible situations.
The Google car has video cameras, radar, lasers and a database with information collected from manually driven vehicles to help in navigation.
Some automakers already are committed to the development of this technology, one example is the Nissan manufacturer that at the end of last year, conducted a test of driverless electric car in Japan, learn more here .
Below is the latest video of how Google technology works:
"As it turns out, what seems chaotic and random in a city street for humans is quite predictable to a computer. Created based on the models to expect from the software depending on various situations - likely and unlikely. We still have many problems to solve before facing another city, but several situations that would have left us baffled two years ago can now be navigated autonomously, "concludes Urmson.
