A prototype vehicle that was built from the beginning to move without any human intervention, presented yesterday on USA η Google.
According to the company, its design is tailored to the systems automaticof driving that also incorporates the fact that it will not need a driver to circulate. So, in its final version, the two-seater will have no steering wheel and no brake pedals, only an "emergency" button, with which passengers can stop it in case of a problem.
Although Google has been experimenting for years with technologies of autonomous navigation, until now all tests were carried out in cars mass production, in which the necessary modifications were made.
Google argues that autonomous private homes they should not have the controls of a conventional car as the tests have shown that abrupt human intervention in their movement can cause an accident. However, the original "batch" of the original two-seater will have a steering wheel and a brake to meet California's state-of-the-art standards where the company carries out its tests, which predict that the passenger should be able to get at any time under full control of the vehicle.
On the dashboard there is a display showing the route and speed, which can not exceed 40 km / h. Naturally, the vehicle is equipped with sensors that allow its "autopilot" to understand its position and what's around it, within a range of several hundred meters.
