Google Driveless Car

the Google driverless car is high-powered by artificial intelligence that utilizes the input from the video cameras within the car, a detector on the vehicle’s top, and a few microwave radar and position sensors hooked up to completely different positions of the car. looks like lots of effort to mimic the human intelligence in the car, however thus far the system has with success driven 1609 kilometres while not human commands!Google's Driverless Car System (DCS) represents the integration of many services, turning your car into 'smartcar', just like the smartphone or tablet. With Google Voice, you have a globally-reachable free phone number. With Google Maps and Street View, you have potentially the best navigation out there. Google Glasses will sooner or later make way for Google HUD (Windscreen), which currently exists only on a drawing board and flexible OLED screens (years away from printable transparent OLED display on the inner side of automotive-grade windscreens. This would affect the way of transportation because driver doesn't need to care about the drive as it is qutomatically monitered by the car itself. This would help handicapped people to drive the car easily.
