How Google's Autonomous Vehicles Work

Posted by Soulskill on from the up-on-the-sidewalk-thump-thump-thump dept.

An anonymous reader writes "IEEE reports that Google's autonomous cars have logged more than 190,000 miles driving in all kinds of traffic, and the company is also testing a fleet of self-driving golf carts on its campus. In a recent talk, Sebastian Thrun and Chris Urmson of Google gave details of the project and showed videos of the robot cars driving themselves and even doing some stunts. The goal is that the technology will help reduce congestion, fuel waste, and accidents."

    Son,

    This is not the place for this kind of crap. It's bad enough you're getting stuffed by your big brother, but keep it private for god's sake.

    Wait until I put my hands on Mike. He'll be in for a rough ride, I'll tell you that.

    Sorry Dad. But you know how Mike is. He'll never get laid if I don't help him. Plus he doesn't give me a choice, so there's that too.

    I'll keep it for me then. Thanks for caring.

    I know, I am a failure of a human being. I wonder if it is a family trait?

    Don't you think MichaelKristopeit is already robot-controlled? Or at least, that it has the brainz (Sorry, been around the poll lately) of a AI program running on a 16MHz 386?

    Now, what we need to find is a link to some form of vehicle. Then it would be on topic.
