Google robot car does 225,000km by itself

Mulit-billion-dollar international technology company, Google, has been secretly working away ondeveloping robotic cars capable of driving themselves.

Up until now it’s all been a bit of a secret, but Google has begun releasing information to the publicabout what the company has been up to in the last year or so and where it’s currently at.

In a recent blog on its blog site, Google has revealed it has not only begun to forge the way inrobotic car development, it’s already driven a small fleet of automated Toyota Prius’ around parts ofCalifornia for a total of 225,000km on public roads. The interesting thing is most of us weren’t evenaware it was happening.

Here we have a video which was added on YouTube at the beginning of this year. The authorinitially stated it was a Google car being used for Google images, but then it was edited to say thecar is in fact a completely robotic vehicle, manned by technicians.

Although the car in the video appears to be driven by someone, he is simply there for safetyreasons and is not actually inputting to the driving. Sebastian Thrun, Distinguished SoftwareEngineer for Google, said in the recent Googleblog post,

“Our cars are never unmanned. We always have a trained safety driver behind thewheel who can take over as easily as one disengages cruise control.”

The blog says that originally, Google was developed to help people ‘solve really big problems usingtechnology’. And that one of the problems the company is now focusing on is traffic and roadsafety.

“Our goal is to help prevent traffic accidents, free up people’s time and reduce carbonemissions by fundamentally changing car use,” Thrun said.

Google hasn’t announced when or how this technology will be applied to the real world yet, butsays it is testing potentials. Thrun said,

“While this project is very much in the experimental stage, it provides a glimpse of whattransportation might look like in the future thanks to advanced computer science.”

The company hopes automated cars could be developed to establish ‘highway trains of tomorrow’and transport commuters safely, and provide road-goers with more time to get onto other thingswhilst traveling.

Google also says that this technology has the potential to cut road-related fatalities by as much ashalf if it were applied to the infrastructure.

It’s still only early stages yet, but we’ll be sure to keep you up to date on Google’s movements inthe near future.

Almost a drone but still need a human operator to keep an eye on things.

I saw one of these here on the gateway a while back, I too assumed it must have been for mapping, but thisdoesnt surprise me, very cheeky.

Are they actually allowed to do this without permission??

“I too assumed it must have been for mapping..”

Yes it is. “IF” Google are in fact doing this. it’s probably only in the states.

For irony, it’s probably powered by their Android OS.

We are so doomed.

Its easy now to call it “advancing technology” as it isnt google jobs at stake when people no longer drive/pilotvehicles for commercial use.

And yes, and brother is watching, and he is paid by google to ruin other peoples future in order for a pay rise. Andwe thought it would be armies that end the world!nope!it’ll be the type of people that play dungeons anddragons and invent hand signals!sweet

So, fleets of unmanned google drones mapping/photographing our roads day & night? Or simply a way to free upthe driver for more internet browsing & hence ad revenue for google?

I like ‘driving’ my cars more than most (just like any other enthusiast who’d visit this page and leave a post).

But I can see this becoming the norm eventually. I’ll miss controlling the car myself, but the benefits are amazing.Of course road safety etc (btw NO road deaths should be achievable, not just halve them), but imagine what youcould do with your travel time if you didn’t have to drive, read, watch tv, enjoy the view/journey, no stresstransport, no more traffic jams, spend time with the family (eek)!.

I hope this never becomes the norm in my lifetime. I enjoy my driving too much to have google do it for me. I alsoknow they will log every detail of my travel habits and purchases so that they can pump focused advertising intothe car while I’m a helpless passenger.

Um! sarcasm doesn’t work well when written. Not without some very obvious indications.

Makes one appreciate wind up windows, bench seats, no power assistance, carburettors, high beam lights on thefloor, vinyl, manually adjusting the timing, and quarter vent windows in a new light.

Ah, I miss the mechanical age!

(If these things get a virus, do we have more freeway crashes?)

Would be a fitting replacement for the drivers in the V8SC.
