The blind man drives the car

Another scenario in the film is coming true, when the computer self-control car runs safely and effectively, despite the driver did not see anything.

"This is one of the best driving times I've ever had," Fox News quoted Steve Mahan of California. Mr. Mahan drove a Toyota Prius around a Morgan Hill town in the state on a routine basis, such as picking laundry and passing through Taco Bell to buy food. One thing to keep in mind is that Mahan lost 95% of his vision, but can still control the car thanks to Google's self-driving technology. Of course, Mahan did not have a driver's license, and Google relied on official support from the Morgan Hill Police Department as he used the car.

Google has launched a self-propelled vehicle project in 2010. The technology is based on a system consisting of laser detectors, radar sensors, cameras to observe the distance ahead, to ensure a safe journey and effective. Google has patented the technology in December last year. Google has tested the vehicle's self-propelled capability over hundreds of thousands of kilometers before placing him behind the wheel.

Director of Government Affairs at the American Council for the Blind, Eric Bridges, says this is great news. Thinking himself 100% blind, Bridges tried Google's self-drive last year, and he ran straight to the interstate to test the car's safety. However, Bridges says the technology is not just for the visually impaired. Imagine being in a science fiction movie: you call a taxi and the car comes without a driver. According to Fox News, Google is pleased with the latest response to the technology, but has also warned that it will take years to complete before it is ready for public release.
