Black boxes will make self-governing cars safer

Municipalities cars have the potential to change the way we move around town. Companies like Google and Uber still looking for ways to make them maximum safety for passengers and other road users. Producers of autonomous self-governing cars safer already received permission to conduct public tests with them in some US states such as California and Michigan. The idea is these real experiments to improve their security, but people get used to their presence on the road.

HOW TO MAKE SELF-GOVERNING CARS SAFER?

Representatives of the American Association of Vehicle Administrators organization already discussed a package of measures to make the self-governing cars safer for pedestrians and other drivers, police DigitalTrends. One of their ideas is the leading cars have “black boxes” similar to those used in passenger aircraft. Thanks to this component car will send data to the organization, which will allow constant monitoring.

It is envisaged that the adoption of laws regulating the number of social and economic issues. The organization draws attention to the fact that the advent of self-cars will lead to loss of jobs in public transport. The new measures will regulate the manner of functioning autonomous cars in the next 50 years. We can be sure that European Union regulators will also take similar steps to ensure the security of the self-governing cars.

Why does Google give up the production of self-cars

Google was one of the first companies that started to experiment with the development of Google self-cars. Only a few years ago this idea seems too futuristic for many users. Over time, however, we saw that modern technologies have the potential to turn this concept into reality. Many companies like Uber, NVIDIA and manufacturers such as Mercedes-Benz already interested in the self-governing cars. New data reveal TheInformation interesting shift in strategy for Google.
That for now the company has given up the idea to produce the own car, which is driven by software, not by man. Instead, Google self-cars intends to partner with leading manufacturers in the creation of conventional cars and intend to submit a new service for them, which will be available by the end of 2017. A good example of this is the cooperation of the company with Fiat Chrysler. Its engineers have developed a prototype minivan Pacifica, which uses unique software to Google. The first public test with him began in May.

Personally, head of Alphabet, Larry Page along with Chief Financial Officer Ruth Porat took the decision to change their plans in this market segment. In turn, it is provoked by the idea that creating a completely different car, no steering wheel and pedals are too impractical. That’s why Google believes in partnering with leading manufacturers and gradually integrating technology into their models. A matter of time to see if the company’s strategy will succeed.
