Google's Self Driving Cars Project: Test Drive Of Smart Driverless Cars Reaches 2 Million Miles, Autonomous Cars To Become Widespread In 5 Years?

Technology really has advanced so much and many companies such as Google, Audi, GM and Uber are planning to create self driving cars that will not let you have to drive, instead to enjoy the views and the ride.

In a recent interview at Vanity Fair's New Establishment Summit on October 20, the President of Udacity, Sebastian Thrun, said that artificial intelligence would have a great impact on our lives. According to Thrun, it is easier today compared to what has been experienced by our ancestors' long time ago because of the inventions and innovations that we have today.

The former head of Google's self driving car project said that artificial intelligence are going to take us further and it will all begin with smart or artificially intelligent driverless cars. According to CNET, car companies like Toyata, Ford and Volvo all have projects planned for the creation of driverless cars.

Tech Times stated that prototypes of Google are self driving cars that can be seen roaming the streets of California and last October 10, the company has added a new model to its fleet: the 2017 Chrysler Pacifica Minivan. There have been 34 prototypes that Google is testing and the company will even have 100 additional Chrysler minivans in accordance to the deal that Google made with Fiat Chrysler. Those minivans were specifically made to test out Google's smart-car technology.

Along with Google, Uber also have self driving cars roaming the streets of Pittsburgh and Tesla. It is testing its Autopilot feature and recorded 222 million miles driven. Google and Tesla have the same goal of making a driverless car but both companies have a different kind of approach to it.

Last month, Google was able to record 2 million miles for the road test of self driving cars. Google's purpose for driverless cars is mainly for the safety of its passenger.
