Google is “very actively” working on how to put its driverless cars to public use in the next three years, according to the founder of its experimental “X” lab, after the search company’s recent breakthroughs in autonomous navigation of city streets.
They’re not just for freeway driving anymore.
Those self-driving cars from Google are now roaming city streets, whirling through boulevards, and using technology to avoid obstacles in their path.
According to Alain Bertaud of NYU, some jobs will likely be lost, “especially, taxi drivers at airports,” but not for some time — after all, he says, self-driving cars will take awhile to catch on.
As for the drinking, Susan Shaheen, the Co-Director of the Transportation Sustainability Research Center at UC Berkeley, says, “If someone wants to drink, this allows them to drink safely, without affecting other individuals.”
Basically, Google is asking for patience as the cars gradually become part of our lives. Patience, and acceptance. They claim self-driving cars will be much safer, once we give the technology a chance.
