Technology: Google's unmanned car!

Hi everybody!!!

I hope that you  are all doing great and having an amazing day. Today I wanted to share with you Google's newest adventure and breakthrough: unmanned cars!

Ok, although this might sound a bit futuristic, Admit it!!! It's amazing!!!

So Google is now your search engine, your web browser, your cellphone, your TV, soon they will also be on your Laptop and now they are trying to be in your car??? Will you marry with Google?

I think that's the only place Google won't be!

I found an article that said that Google lobbied quietly in the state of Nevada in favor of a legislation to be the first state where cars could be operated legally on public roads without someone at the wheel. 

But the big question is this:

Does Google plan to extend their digital expertise within the automotive industry as a supplier, a partner or  a manufacturer of digital equipment?

With unmanned car research, Google is exploring an area that has plagued automotive engineers for years. Even a driving enthusiast, as the vice president of General Motors, Bob Lutz, agreed that autonomous cars are the future. 

Benefits:

• Reduce congestion on roads
• Reduce the number of accidents
• Maximize fuel efficiency 
• Leave the crew to perform other tasks. 

But while they focus on Android operating system, it seems like they are seeking to conquer new worlds. With 15 million new cars sold each year in the United States and 60 million worldwide, the potential market for unmanned vehicles is enormous.

As Google explains, cars use automated video cameras, radar sensors and laser seekers to 'see' the traffic and detailed maps to navigate the road. The advantage of Google comes from its information centers, which can process vast amounts of information gathered by their cars at the time of mapping their land. Pretty cool isn't it?

Their automated cars have traveled from Mountain View in Northern California, to Santa Monica and from Hollywood Boulevard to Southern California, they have crossed the Golden Gate Bridge, and have also crossed the Pacific Coast Highway and have surrounded the Lake Tahoe. In total, its fleet of seven cars without driver has covered 225.300 miles without an accident.

What is the future of Google in the automotive industry?

As the exclusive provider of proprietary software, the automated management system from Google has the potential to become the operational standard for all cars in the world. 

Google has the ability, ambition and resources. With 36.000 million in the bank, and more money every day, it is hard to imagine a better investment, both for Google and the future of personal transportation. 

So tell me my friends:

When do you think unmanned cars will be on the roads?
