Google strikes again. The digital juggernaut that is Google, responsible for the top search engine in the world, smartphones, translation technology, and a plethora of other projects, has taken another BIG step toward the world domination summit. This is one step that makes them pioneers. After word traveled that Google was working on a self-driving vehicle and countless tests in 2010, the Nevada State Department of Motor Vehicles announced Monday that they have issued a license to vehicle testing on freeways and neighborhoods around Carson City and even the Las Vegas strip.
WOW. Picture the neon lights of a city ablaze with life and music. A night to remember (or not) in Vegas can be navigated with ease in a self-driving vehicle, lifting the weight of driving under the influence or when you’re fatigued. The wave of the future isn’t that far off, according to Google. The license that the Google Self-Driving vehicle will hold has a red background and an infinity symbol on the left side. "I felt using the infinity symbol was the best way to represent the 'car of the future,' " DMV Director Bruce Breslow said in a statement Monday.
In June of last year, Nevada wrote rules governing autonomous vehicles after the state passed pioneering legislation to authorize the cars. L.A. Times reporter Tiffany Hsu stated:
"A driverless car is defined by the bill as using 'artificial intelligence, sensors and global positioning system coordinates to drive itself without the active intervention of a human operator.' That includes technology such as lasers, cameras and radar."
Self-driving cars logged more than 140,000 miles in California in Google testing, thus far. The FUTURE IS NOW. How do you feel about self-driving vehicles?
