Google has Monday, the first prototype was shown of his autonomous car that is completely ‘finished’. It is a further development of the car that the tech company earlier this year showed. That version had ‘not even headlights”.
Google shows the car in a Google+post. In the technology business, a little more information about the new prototype. This is what is going to make a ‘complete version’ of the car that it was in may of this year showed. That cart has no steering wheel and pedals, and fully automatic, a journey from a to b travel. In the current version is the so-called Lidar system for the observation of objects around the vehicle, is reduced.
During the holidays, experiments Google, say that the cart on a test track. Then go with a custom version of the car on the road in the U.s. state of California. In principle, runs without human intervention, but the directors do have a steering wheel and temporary pedals. That way they can intervene in case of emergency, what California is legally required.
Google has been working for some time on autonomous cars. Previously used the existing models that it is full of hung with sensors, but now builds the self self-propelled cars with the help of component manufacturers. A new ‘beta one’model is in development that is more sophisticated should be than the other cars. The beginning of 2015, these must be cars, whose characteristics are still unclear, also on the road to be tested.
Incidentally, let Google last week still loose that it does not intend to later cars to produce. Therefore, the company is looking also for a partnership with another company. Discussions are already underway with potential partners, but it is not known what these are. In five years, you must have the first self-propelled cars what Google on the market. In the next year legislation that will self-propelled cars under certain conditions.
