Google Introduces Self-Driving Cars

Google has released images and information regarding their self-driving car prototype and it has no steering wheel, no brakes and no accelerator pedals. Many are wondering if it’s safe or even drivable. The prototype has two seats and enough room for a small amount of luggage. How does it work? A smartphone tells it to pick up the user at a location with the next destination set. No human control needed –just a start button and an emergency stop button. 

The car has an estimated 100 mile range and uses a combination of sensors and software to locate itself in the real world, of course combined with the power of highly sophisticated maps –a GPS. The software was made to be able to recognize objects, other cars, people, road signs and traffic lights. According to Google, it’s perfectly safe –but only time will tell.
