Self-Driving Car

--> By David Lawal If like the defunct Bank PHB, you were imagining the days that cars would drive themselves all by simple commands, technology has just taking you there; thanks to Google. The project has been several years in the making but was first unveiled in 2010.The Google's fleet of robotic Toyota Priuses has travelled more than 190,000 miles, about 300,000 kilometers, driving in city traffic, busy highways, and mountainous roads with only occasional human intervention. Two things seem particularly interesting about Google's approach. First, it relies on very detailed maps of the roads and terrain; something that Chris Urmson, Google engineer, said is essential to determine accurately where the car is.
