And a third.
So I got a chance to check out a google self driving car up close. Spoke to one of the engineers about it. I was embarrassed, I thought it was a google maps car until I was corrected. They look similar but not close enough to be thought to be the same.
Anyway, that fucking thing is pretty cool! It has a 64 laser matrix on the roof of the vehicle that is constantly streaming data about its surroundings. They haven't done much in city testing, which I figured would have been a safer environment, but are constantly allowing it to pilot itself on the freeway. After thinking about it, though the freeway may move faster it does have less turns, less [no] pedestrians and would be a good place to test the vehicles reaction times.
Anyway, it was pretty freaking neat!
