The future of road travel – Autonomous (self-driving) car worth the investment for Google
Google is investing heavily in self-driving technology with over $1 billion in the budget.
Waymo under Alphabet Inc., Google's parent company, is developing a self-driving car technology.
The self-driving car aims to make travel safe and easy with automated driving technology.
The company is headed by John Krafcki and is assembling self-driving equipment in already available cars.
The automatic cars have a $70,000 LIDAR system, a rangefinder with a Velodyne 64-beam laser for 3D mapping.
The self-driving car also works with a high definition inch precision map.
The self-driving technology will have on-board and remote computation on computer farms.
The Google self-driving cars are estimated to be available to the public to the general public by 2020.
The use of self-driving cars has already been allowed by legislation in various states in the US.
The self-driving technology is predicted to be useful in personal vehicles, ridesharing, logistics, etc.
Once the technology is perfected, it is said that it will make travel more safe and prevent a lot of accidents.
