Sergey Brin: You can buy a car with robotic control in five years

In May of this year, the search giant was able to obtain a license in the state of Nevada to drive on general purpose roads of robotic cars. Yesterday, the company took another step toward introducing this futuristic opportunity into everyday life - Sergey Brin at Google headquarters in the presence of California Governor Jerry Brown (Jerry Brown) signed an agreement SB1298 , which describes safety regulations and a number of other standards when driving computer-driven cars . At the same time, as reported in a press release, the governor himself tried on himself as it is - to drive a car without a human driver.

In fact, this means that such cars have received legal status in California (the same, except for Nevada, there is in Florida), and Google has a legitimate opportunity to test them on general roads. However, the most interesting point in this event is Sergey Brin's promising statement: “You can count on one hand the number of years when ordinary people can try what it is [cars without a driver]”. At the same time, as usual, the head of Google did not provide any details regarding the price of such a decision, but it is noteworthy that at the time of signing the agreement, he was in another futuristic gadget - Google Glass glasses - as if emphasizing the high-tech level of his company.

Bryn says that the introduction of robotic cars will qualitatively raise the life experience of many people, while one of the main problems of car movement - safety - is accepted by Google engineers as one of the fundamental requirements. People suffering from various diseases that make it impossible for ordinary movement by car, blind people, people of old age, who simply become intoxicated, will undoubtedly be able to appreciate this Google project.
