Google Corporation quite seriously experiencing with electric autopilot car deprived of the usual controls.
It is believed that such an independent car is safer - on the condition that on the roads all follow the rules of the road. It also selects the optimal driving mode, therefore saves fuel or electricity . However, recently, Google representatives admitted that they put into the algorithms to manage their electric vehicle capacity for some time exceed the prescribed speed limit signs - by up to 16 km / h. This is done in order to move uniformly along with the flow of vehicles on the road, if all go with a small margin.
As explained by the website The Wall Street Journal, California authorities require Google to equip their prototype electric usual controls - otherwise they will not be allowed to test on public roads in the state. Test pilot should be able to take control in the event of an emergency situation. Google is ready to install on prototypes temporary controls: steering wheel and pedals - especially since they already have those copies that are being tested on closed roads. By the way, Google had requested permission to withdraw to the roads of California, other types of vehicles with the autopilot trucks and motorcycles, but the state government decided to restrict passenger until electric cars. Moreover, the speed of the first test sample is limited to 40 km / h. Test vehicles Google will work in courier services and a taxi - it will work on a variety of movement routes.
