The google Self -Driving Car.
is it safe? is it worth it?
So What is the google self-driving car?
Well.. it is what is..
A self-driving car that was created by Google
to help improve road safety and help out lots
of people who cant drive.
SO this car drives ON IT'S OWN.
Heres how it works: It uses a laser range
finder as well as with maps of the world to
create a 3d map of the environment it's in..
There are 4 radars on the back and front bumpers......
a highly sophisticated gps system and cameras
that allow for the car to see All make it
possible for this car to navigate the streets
on it's own..
Google believes their car is safer than human
drivers..
So heres what it can do..
It's said to drive very smoothly.
Using data It can create a map detailing the
key events of car accident, keep in mind in
the case of a car accident it would most likely
be the the fault of a human driver.
it follows traffic laws.. so it knows the
speed limit, or when to stop at a stop sign
the list is endless but basically it DRIVES
ON IT'S OWN which is empowering people.
is it safe?
This car stops for people crossing the street..
Seems pretty safe to me.. because when I'm
crossing the street people don't even stop
for me.
Google says, up to 300,000 miles have been
driven by this car and all test drives have
resulted with no incident.
Except for at the fault of a human.
Google's goal is to improve road safety and
I think they will because the average U.S.
driver has one accident roughly every 165,000
miles 300,000 miles for google and still running
strong.
So is it safe?
Im going to have to say YES..
But is worth it?
I think it depends.
I mean this car is equipped with cameras,
radar sensors and LASERS..
Im pretty sure this technology is not cheap.
Sure you're getting your money out of it..
A SELF driving car.. but what happens when
the 64 lasers needs to be replaced?
Or the GPS system fails?
Check this out..The cost of a toyota prius
now is about $24,000.00 after the technology
is added in were talking about a $300,000
toyota prius.
With that $300,000 you could buy the actual
toyota prius for everyone in your family.
*up to 11 people.
If the car was released from the public today
I would say from a money standpoint it's not
worth it.
But the idea and what this car can do for
people it's definitely worth it.
Dont get me wrong, i'm not expecting this
car to be cheap but at least affordable.
This is they way I see it....google says they
want to improve road safety but how can they
do this when no one has the car because it
cost to much?
Hopefully in the future when this car is available
for the public, Google will figure this out.
I'm sure they will.
Thats it for this video, but do you think
will happen with Drivers licenses? and With
decreased traffic tickets how does this affect
a state's revenue?
Comment and let me know what you think, I'll
see you later.
