Why Google's new self-driving cars could be the safest on the road - Dubai

Google has been showing off its work on driverless cars for a few years now, but up until this week, these vehicles always used a human driver or two for backup. But all that has changed with the introduction of Google's new, completely autonomous vehicle. The prototype car doesn't have a steering wheel or pedals, and passengers are buckled into what are essentially back seats. These cars aren't street legal yet, but while regulators iron out the details of when and where they can drive, Google is intent on showing that automobiles are far safer without any input from us puny humans. Google's newest unit is purpose built for safety. The form factor means its cameras and sensors have no blind spots and can detect objects for 360 degrees and as far as 200 yards away. The electrical vehicle tops out at 25 miles per hour and has a front end built of soft foam, tweaks Google hopes will cushion any pedestrian struck head on by the car. The company knows that its driverless cars will likely be a ripe target for scammers looking to sue Google, but its hoping that can be prevented by the array of cameras recording the vehicles every move. As Sebsatian Thru, the original inventor of Google's driverless cars, told the New York Times, "...the big losers are going to be the trial lawyers."

Great job -
When I think about getting the most at of your dollar and efforts. This is a small step. Compared to the quantum leap that could be accomplished with vehicles. Hemp has been proven! To be 10 times stronger 30% lighter than steel. That would make the car stronger lighter and much more energy-efficient. As a added bonus. By using hemp we would be cleaning up our environment. We would be cleaning our air water in landscape. For Hemp rejuvenates and replenishes the soil after every harvest it can even be grown on soil that has been completely stripped and robbed of all its value. From overharvesting things like cotton and corn. I mentioned that it would clean up our air water in landscapes some of you may be puzzled by that. So I will explain. 1 acre of hemp. Produces 3 to 4 times the amount of oxygen as 1 acre of trees. As well as sucking in 3 to 4 times the amount of carbon dioxide as a acre of trees. Since it rejuvenates and replenishes the soil after every harvest. Knowing that common sense would suggest. if we grew it somewhere like on the shores of the Flint River in Michigan. It would clean the river at the same time making the shoreline better than ever. Hemp bile fossil fuel releases the same amount of carbon dioxide per mile as a person does when the exhale. Versus oil or gas. Which is a form of petrified death that releases tens of thousands of years of death. Per mile. Per car Those are just a couple examples of how fast we can improve our physical health at the same time creating more jobs than coal oil or gas or nuclear will ever be able to do. Because hemp can make 26,000 different things. Stronger lighter and cheaper than the way we currently make them. From our vehicles to our homes roads clothing so forth and so on. Life is very valuable stop wasting time. With all these inferior products made from petrified death. Promote life don't encourage death. unless that's when you are at your best. lol

I want one drenched in pink lol 💖🚘

why could you place the censor also on the bottem of the car to decrese the chances of accidents
-
I wonder how these will handle in ice.

Fuck Google. Fuck These Cars ! Ban Them Permanently ! They are Dangerous
-
looks like a death trap
-
and one swoop you would take away more jobs from more people but you want to keep was broke anyways
-
THIS CAR LOOKS RIDICULOUS AND THE WHOLE CONCEPT IS A JOKE. STICK TO MAKING SMART PHONES AND SEARCH ENGINES GOOGLE. I'M GOING TO START SHORT SELLING GOOGLE STOCK WHEN THIS CAR IS RELEASED.

I really love driving and i enjoy the interaction between man and machine, PLEASE dont take that away from me by FORCING this crap onto me ! Just because other people suck at driving does not make me a worthless driver ! And what if the tech fails and the damn thing shuts down ? Then you are going to be just another helpless passenger locked inside a plastic egg on wheels whith NO control over the situation, or they could be hacked which allready is a problem with todays vehicles ! The more computerised things get the more vulnerable they become ! BMW - SHEER DRIVING PLEASURE !!!

in about 20 years car accidents would be a historical

There are wayyyyyyy way too many things that can break or fail in the driverless cars... What happens when your 360laser motor gets stuck or damaged while at 50mph? What happens when a camera breaks after 5000 miles because of potholes, speed bumps and careless owners. What happens when the computers have a glitch? What happens when the gps glitches? What happens is a deadly crash or a huge repair bill to fix the outdated computers or the worn out cameras or motors or whatever else. Doesn't everyone else on earth hate cars for the simple fact that they constantly need to be maintained and when one thing doesn't work, everything doesn't work! Adding new, intricate, dangerous, systems to already complicated manually driven cars is just a terrible idea. And no I don't want to EVER drive the speed limit. And yes I will 100% upgrade my self driving car illegally to go faster. These are all things that people WILL do out of our freedom. Plus kidnapping will be by hacking a car... Wtf

Trust your government to move your car for you? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... NOPE!

I like to drive my car thanks, that's the whole point of owning your own vehicle. You get to go where you want, how you want and when you want.

What worries me is that self-driving cars cannot improvise: they're bound to the rules that the programmers gave them.
If another driver makes an unpredictable mistake, then how does the car cope with this? The cars have been involved in accidents, and recently a driver got injured after a collision with a self driving car, but all these accidents were caused by the human driver. Obviously an accident that is caused by a human is not caused the self-driving car, but could some of these accidents have been prevented if a human was driving? -
Mom! No hands!

What if you want to run over someone?
