We've all had to do it! Mirror, signal, manoeuvre, feeding the steering wheel and checking our mirrors every seven seconds - the countless hours behind the wheel
learning to drive.
But, what if we were to say there’s a car coming your way
that requires very little effort to drive? No effort at all in fact, it's self-driven!
Google have announced (yesterday evening) that they are beginning to build the first self-driving car. This little car will be capable of speeds up
to 25MPH and will have only a start/stop button as any form of control. Google
plan to have this little roadster on the road(s) within a year.
To make things even more unique, Google have scrapped the
idea of the cars we know today and have created a whole new design, with over
100 prototypes being tested throughout this summer.
But can we cope with having no control over the vehicle? It
has no steering wheel, no brakes or accelerator pedals, it relies solely on the
equipment, sensors and software built into the car. It’s designed to take the
stress out of driving!
Google have confirmed that the first design of the
self-driven car will be basic in order for the design and technician teams to
make changes as quickly as possible. All this aside Google
are hoping to revolutionise the driving experience by removing the stress of
driving and putting safety first!
Here at Big Motoring World we're looking forward to this new little cars release to see what it can really do!
