Background
Goal of the Google Car is to change the world as we know it.
The future you imagine is possible. Examples: Safer roads User friendly to more than the current driving
population (youths, intoxicated, elderly) More eco-friendly, less harmful emissions.

Technology
This car is filled with technology allowing it to differentiate between other cars, pedestrians, cyclists, and small and large stationary objects.
Doesn’t need light in order to function.
Uses a radar, lasers, front mounted camera, and a staggering amount of software at work at all time.
All together, this helps create a
3D model image of the immediate area.

As well as, Fewer accidents Redundant drivers
eliminated. Parking scarcity
resolved. Better management of
traffic flow.

Advantages (extended)
As well as, Fewer accidents Redundant drivers
eliminated. Parking scarcity resolved. Better management of
traffic flow. Traffic Fatalities (93% of accidents are due to Driver error)
