How Google’s Self-Driving Car Works
Once a secret project, Google’s autonomous vehicles are now out in the open, quite literally, with the company test-driving them on public roads and, on one occasion, even inviting people to ride inside one of the robot cars as it raced around a closed course.
Google’s fleet of robotic Toyota Priuses has now logged more than 190,000 miles (about 300,000 kilometers), driving in city traffic, busy highways, and mountainous roads with only occasional human intervention. The project is still far from becoming commercially viable, but Google has set up a demonstration system on its campus, using driverless golf carts, which points to how the technology could change transportation even in the near future.

What a wonderful article. Linked to it in my syndicated column Techlife’s newest piece “Drive for $1000, Alex” while it isn’t the main focus it does provide a great bit of background on the project for the readers. Thanks. http://bit.ly/uyNmVw
