Google showed last May its first self-propelled vehicle. However, when it was a prototype. Today, the search engine company showcases the car in final production form
.
Big difference from the prototype is that the final version headlamps and indicators has, but also decent side mirrors, new wheels and a steering wheel not quite unimportant. The prototype had not, but legislation requires a company to an autonomous driving car always provide you with a steering wheel and pedals, so that the human operator can take over power if necessary. More details of the car Google has not yet been released.
Northern California
Google wants his car driving autonomously develop. That will make the company not only on private property, but also on public roads. In Europe, the car yet. Google will first make kilometers in Northern California.
Strict rules
The rules for registering an independent moving car are strict there. Thus, the requirement that any self-propelled vehicle and the driver should be recorded. Directors are also required to attend a special training course. The manufacturer of the autonomous driving car needs further insurance pot of $ 5 million reserve if damages are caused by the cars. Also wants to keep the California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) that ‘drivers’ of self-propelled cars a logbook stating why and when to intervene.

Auto means self from the classical Greek. Mobile is mobile, from the Latin language. That’s moving. Automotive is (actually) a self-moving vehicle / medium / thing, exactly as described.

There must always be a legal driver, so anyone with a driver’s license, be present in the vehicle. So again first bring something to market and then fiddle with the law.

Instead complain and whine, we should just be very happy with these future benefits: No Driver’s license no lessons, anyone with disabilities and frail old and sick and can go drunk when he she wants, aging is no longer relevant for sales also as 100 years you can buy a nice self-thinking car. Over 30 years, I’m 75 years old so ideal for our age, we are our own death and mobile!

What is its use? Ie electric drive? What if it is smooth or there is snow. He also understands as road works or an accident that happened then different rules? He understands it as an agent capable of controlling the traffic etc etc. I think this can never happen.

“A logbook stating why and when to intervene?” In addition, the legislator in California apparently assume that the occupant is still had the opportunity to intervene in good time. Not very realistic so. I therefore think that in many such situations one will have to go to the cemetery to get yet completed the logbook.

Unfortunately, this is the future! In about 30 years from now drive those things everywhere. Even trucks will be driving without a driver. Weather thousands of jobs on the shovel, but so is the future. Major car manufacturers go and work with Google because without them no future. Madam my name is bumpie, your taxi. Where to?
This is something for my vriendin..die refuses itself besturen..en to a car soon we will definitely get a TV series .. “something als..eenzame passenger car searching ..” I also see all the frustrated face of “policeman” that konstateert an offense but not the driver aanspreken..dus the car is in court gesleept..en border police want a smuggling car without driver aanhouden..maar mislukt..of the car that registers itself with the demolition ..
