Google Self-Driving Car

http://www.nytimes.com/2014/05/28/technology/googles-next-phase-in-driverless-cars-no-brakes-or-steering-wheel.html?module=Search&mabReward=relbias%3Aw

I searched Google in the New York Times and found an article about the Google self-driving car.  I was thinking "How can a car drive itself?"  I was even more confused when I read that the car had only two buttons, start and emergency stop.  I should've known that, being Google, they would have made it controlled by a smartphone app.  I don't think this self-driving car is a good idea, because even though there is no wheel turning, and people will like that, how does it know, without any delay, that another car is switching lanes or about to crash into the  self-driving one?  Also, this car is really small, and it looks (awesome!!!!) like a smart car.  I think it looks like it has eyes.

  1. I agree with you about the switching lanes, but, I have a theory. It is that it might have a camera installed on it. But, I it does not, I think there will be a lot more car crashes.

  2. Eric, I loved you short and enthusiastic story about googles self driving car. I liked that it was in your own words. I learned a lot from just reading your post once. I also enjoyed that you stated your opinion in the blog post. I can see that you have spend a chunk of time trying to find good interesting article. I think you really summarised the article very well. Good job Eric!
