GOOGLE'S AUTONOMOUS CAR APPLIES LESSONS LEARNED FROM DRIVERLESS RACES

摘要

Google surprised the world East October, when the search engine company revealed it operated a fleet of seven autonomous cars that had driven a total of 140,000 miles. More stunning, perhaps, was that some of those cars had made it down the tight turns of San Francisco's Lombard St, crossed the Golden Gate Bridge, and circum-navigated Lake Tahoe -- all without any human intervention. Many of the innovations that drove Google's autonomous vehicles have been publicly discussed since Defense Advanced Research Projects Agencys first challenge for driverless cars in 2004.
