Google Driverless Car -Sebastian Thrun
One of my dreams is coming true- a Driverless Car!
One of my dreams is coming true- a Driverless Car!
I had the pleasure of meeting Sebastian at M.I.T. a few years ago, at which time he presented the robotic car competitions of his Stanford University labs. Now in his TED presentation - we can see the video's of the Google Driverless Car he is committed to perfecting in recognition of a friend who died in a car accident as a youth.
The Google car has already test driven over 140,000 miles along the West coast - with a trip as from San Francisco to Los Angeles successfully navigating curves, obstructions, and road traffic. Thrun contests it will save lives, ease off on the environment by saving fuel, and provide us humans more time to enjoy our lives.
Set my destination and watch me sit back while the cameras and laser tech guides the way- I am ready when it goes retail. Or better yet, use me as a test driver - I'd love to have a chauffeur!
