Google, the one and only, has again made another enormous leap to the future. Google has programmed a software on laptops that can drive a car!!! The software uses Google Street View with artificial intelligence software that combines input from video cameras inside the car, a LIDAR sensor on top of the vehicle, radar sensors on the front of the vehicle and a position sensor attached to one of the rear wheels that helps locate the car's position on the map. The sensor that is attached to the top of the car detects the cars surrounding including other vehicles, street signs, and traffic lights. I learned about this on the TV show Brave World on the Science Channel. Interesting topic. Watch the show!!!!
