We know Google as the magic cloud that knows all, where you live, where you are, what you do, what if they were the one`s who are trying to make cars, taking you from point A to point B all automatically. Google is now trying to make the thing since sliced bread. At the moment Google is testing their new autonomous cars in several cities including Mountain View, CA; Austin, TX and Kirkland,WA. Although, in an official email from a Google spokesman, they say
"doesn't comment on rumor or speculation.".
They wont be hiding everything though. Google has posted an official webpage explaining their autonomous car project.
What do people think about this new car? They love it. The interactability of people who participated in some of Google`s demo all agreed, Google car is amazing. From safety to comfort, they thought of it all. In one review they say "during a crash, 40% of drivers never even hit the brakes.", a car which brain is all computers, computers that process and execute actions faster then the human, is it it really safer? Many things that you do in your car, the car itself can do for you but, it wont forget to do it, it`ll do it faster and quite frankly it`ll do it better.
Can you imagine yourself, getting into a car one day, in which you have no control over. Since the 1930`s they hoped by the 1960`s that we would`nt have to ever touch the steering wheel again. They were only off by about 50 years but, even to this day we`ve only started developing these wonders.

Hey David! Your blog idea is something new that I haven't looked into so I am happy that you're writing this. Are there any bigger self-driving cars now, unlike the one in your video. A van, perhaps? I would imagine these cars use electrical energy... are there any initiatives to reduce the amount of energy used? A car that drives itself probably uses a lot of energy, no? What about the cost of the car? Can people without a driver's license use this car as it drives itself? Anyway, I'll be following your blog closely!
ReplyDeleteThis is a really interesting topic and I look forward to new posts. After doing a little research I found that the google self driving cars have only had 14 accidents in the last six years which is an incredible statistic that isn't seen with human drivers.
ReplyDeleteI find this concept very intriguing, David. However, I'm curious to find out your outlook on this new product. Do you think it's safer than the cars of today? Also, I'm very curious to see if this new product will be able to surpass the flying car, which is described in my next article, when placed in the market.
ReplyDeleteWow David! I had no idea Google was making a car, this seems pretty interesting. Will you be talking about the new technology behind it and how it works? I look forward to seeing more of what new cars there will be in the future. I'm not really that big on cars but maybe this topic will make me more interested. I like the way you write, it's very good!
ReplyDeleteHi David! Wow great first post. I really like your topic because it for sure is a possible thing in the future because of how advanced technology is getting. What others thing do you plan on talking about? All the gadgets of the future or only about cars of the future? Keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteHi David. The fact that google might be making a self driving car is really facinating. It is interesting how during a crash, 40% of people dont even hit the brakes! Makes me realize how dangerous driving can be and i hope Google is successful with this amazing project! I look forward to reading your next post.
ReplyDeleteHey! I find it rather cool that you don't even need to drive the car yourself, but do you think that these self driving cars will remove the fun in driving? I know that I won't choose to buy myself a self-driving car because weird as it sounds, I trust myself more than something that is programmed. Keep up the good work!
