There have been many attempts by tech giants to create self driving cars. Google seems to be the first ones to built a self driving car from scratch-Although they had built other self driving cars, those were retrofits of existing cars.This Tuesday the search giant unveiled a fully autonomous self-driving car, built from the ground up by Google and its partners.
According to mashable the companies co founder told their reporters that that there's a safety benefit in a custom-built self-driving car. Because the car doesn't have a steering wheel, accelerator or brakes, it has more sensors in strategic spots than is possible in a regular vehicle. It is also equipped with a big "stop" button. In addition to all this tech, Google's autonomous car includes internal power steering and power brakes.The car currently has a maximum speed of 25mph(40.23kmh)
As for when the cars — which are significantly smaller than traditional cars and include couch-like seating — might actually make it to real highways, he said that Google will soon test them with drivers. "Within a couple of years, we'll — if we’ve passed the safety metrics we've put in place, which is to be significantly safer than a human driver ... have them on the road," he said.
