An original vehicle built from the beginning to move without any human intervention, presented yesterday in the US Google.
According to the company, its design is adapted to the self-driving systems it incorporates and the fact that it will not need a driver to drive. Thus, in its final version, the two-seater will have no steering wheel and no brake pedal, only an "emergency" button need", with which the passengers will be able to immobilize it, in case there is a problem.
Although Google has been experimenting with autonomous navigation technologies for years, until now all tests have been carried out in cars mass production, in which the necessary modifications were made.
Google claims that the autonomous I.X. they should not have the controls of a conventional car, as tests have shown that sudden human intervention in their movement can cause accident. However, the initial "batch" of the prototype two-seaters will have a steering wheel and brakes to meet the specifications of the state of California where the company is doing its tests, which stipulate that the passenger should be able to take at any time under his full control of the vehicle.
On the dashboard of the two-seater there is a screen that shows the route and the speed, which cannot exceed 40 km/h. Naturally, the vehicle is equipped with sensors that allow its "autopilot" to understand its position and what is around it, within a radius of several hundred meters.
