failbag: thedailywhat: Infographic of the Day: Google’s newly-unveiled autonomous driving technology, explained: With someone behind the wheel to take control if something goes awry and a technician in the passenger seat to monitor the navigation system, seven test cars have driven 1,000 miles without human intervention and more than 140,000 miles with only occasional human control. One even drove itself down Lombard Street in San Francisco, one of the steepest and curviest streets in the nation. The only accident, engineers said, was when one Google car was rear-ended while stopped at a traffic light. More here. [nyt.] THE FUTURE IS NOW Who’s surprised that Google did this? Fucking nobody, that’s who.
