Google’s Robotic Vehicle: Coming Soon to Nevada!

By IGI Global on May 13, 2011
Look out Nevada: Google's autonomous cars are making their way toward you! We learned about the beginnings of Google's ambitious project several months ago, and it is now becoming clear that Google is making its next move by slowly building a path to make their technology fully legal. Google has hired a lobbyist to promote legislation in Nevada that would allow the licensing and testing of autonomous vehicles and permit the operators of autonomous vehicles to legally send text messages while the car is in motion.

This technology still seems to be far from mass production, but Google is paving the way to make this an effective and legal technology that could eventually increase the energy efficiency of vehicles while decreasing the number of car accidents. Learn more about Google's progress with robotic vehicles in an article from The New York Times.
