Guglomobili - autonomous robotic machines on the roads of Northern California

Among the list of futuristic projects Google - from mobile phone-constructor (see note "Project Ara - modular mobile phone"), points to an augmented reality (see note "Project Glass - augmented reality glasses from Google"), there was one more. The company has announced the launch of self-production cars.
Tiny double streamlined cars can travel no faster than 40 km / h and are endowed with a soft and flexible front of the windshield, not to injure pedestrians, if a collision occurs due to the fault of automation. And this is possible, because the steering, transmission, and gas pedal, brake and clutch here. There are only two buttons: "Start" - initiating movement of cars and "stop" - for emergency braking.

It is assumed that the passenger through the touch interface will indicate guglomobilyu destination, and then will just enjoy the ride. On assurances Google, autonomous vehicle knows the traffic rules distinguishes pedestrians and reacts to other vehicles. The pilot batch of 100 vehicles must be tested in real conditions - will be launched by the end of summer in Northern California.

Since, under U.S. law, a device without a steering wheel and pedals do not place on highway routes, the avtomobilchiki take their place in urban transport. To do this, and the speed and capabilities they have enough.
