Google's self-driving
dream car project has become a reality, owing to the immense amount of progress
that it has made in its recent years.
The
organization shared valuable information about its invention and the success
that the project has received. The project was started initially in 2009 under
Sebastian Thrun, CEO and cofounder of Udacity, with a focus on negotiating
freeways but features such as pedestrian and cyclist detection, sign reading
and other advanced software models that have been recently incorporated.
Recent
other developments include, the Position Sensor and the Radar which helps the
vehicle to understand its position in the world, detecting and measuring the
speed in proportion with the other vehicles on the road.
According
to Techcrunch, the car has several other characteristics such as the project's
zero per cent accident rate in its five year history of invention.
The
entire purpose of the self-driving car project is to make it possible for cars
to react to their environment with 100 percent accuracy, avoiding the 93
percent of accidents that happen on the road each year due to human error,
reports revealed.
The company is now in talks
with automobile manufacturers for its production but a time frame of 6 years
has been predicted before the first model would come into the market.
