Google, like always, is diversifying to other industries. Today, the New York Times reported that Google is currently testing the possibility that cars can drive themselves. The self-driving car uses “artificial-intelligence software that can sense anything near the car and mimic the decisions made by a driver.”
The tests have been encouraging so far:
“Seven test cars have driven 1,000 miles without human intervention and more than 140,000 miles with only occasional human control. One even drove itself down Lombard Street in San Francisco, one of the steepest and curviest streets in the nation.”
The reason behind this project is straightforward. The technology has a 360-degree view of the situation and doesn’t get distracted or intoxicated. It heightens the overall safety level on the road. If ever introduced to the market, it would certainly be a big hit among alcohol lovers. Maybe, the world wouldn’t even need cab drivers in the future. The possibilities are just incredible.
