| Google developing a self-driving car |
谷歌研发自动驾驶汽车 |
| Engineers at Google have tested a self-driving car which has so far covered 140,000 miles on the road, the company has announced. According to a BBC report, such cars use video cameras mounted on the roof, radar sensors and a laser range finder to "see" other traffic. Software engineer Sebastian Thrun said that Google hopes the cars can eventually help reduce road traffic and cut the number of accidents. The technology has the potential to cut the number killed each year on the roads, perhaps by as much as half. |
