Google's Driverless Cars Now Rolling In the Heart of Texas

MarkWhittington notes that, as reported by The Wall Street Journal, Google has started testing its self-driving cars in Austin. These driverless cars, loaded with the sensors, GPS transponders, and cameras, are now in service in "an area northeast and north of downtown Austin. The purpose of the test drives is to see if the car's software works in driving conditions outside of California and to develop a detailed map of Austin city streets. Each self-driving car has two human drivers ready to assume manual control if something goes wrong."

Hi, I'm a developer who works on intelligent vehicles.

We don't use neural nets, for exactly the flaws you point out.
