Google plans to launch self-driving cars within 5 years

Brin, one of the founders of Google Inc. in the United States, announced on the 25th that Google will officially launch a self-driving car to the public within five years.

Governor of California, the United States, signed a new bill on the same day at Google headquarters. The new bill allows a self-driving car to drive on a California road, but the driver's seat must be someone who can take over the car at any time. The bill also requires the California Vehicle Authority to develop safety rules for manufacturers to produce and sell self-driving cars.

Brin said at the signing ceremony that self-driving cars could greatly improve the safety of public transportation in the future, create greater freedom of movement for disabled people, and reduce traffic congestion and exhaust pollution.

Self-driving cars use artificial intelligence control software to judge and predict the driving environment based on vast amounts of information and in advance set procedures. Some experts say that although a self-driving car may not experience speeding, xenon flashes, etc. compared to manned conditions, each computer user has almost experienced a crash and a system crash if a self-driving car encounters this. What about the situation? How to define the degree of automatic driving safety? Such issues need further study.

Brin said that Google’s self-driving car has been tested for 480,000 kilometers, of which the last 80,000 kilometers was completed without any human intervention.

But Smith, a scholar at the Stanford University Automotive Research Center, said that such a test distance is still far from enough. After analyzing a large number of traffic accident data, Smith said that Google’s self-driving cars need more than 1.16 million kilometers of safe and automatic driving to be 99% sure that it is safer than traditional cars.
