Autonomous vehicles Google improve their skills driving around town Bashny.Net

In total, roboauthor Google hitting the roads of California more than one million kilometers. Now the engineers of the Corporation have focused on the nuances of driving in an urban environment.

This is a very difficult task, but the computer is potentially able to cope with it much better person. He never gets tired, or distracted and can simultaneously monitor hundreds of objects. In his blog, Google has published a video which shows some interesting aspects associated with driving an Autonomous car in the city.



In addition to calculating the trajectories of other vehicles and traffic sign recognition, roboauthor learn to watch out for pedestrians and cyclists — they already know how to interpret the gestures that cyclists report their intentions on the road. At the intersection the car closely monitors the position of all pedestrians and cyclists, including those that we are headed back in the direction of motion. Roboauthor also recognizes the traffic cones protecting a site of road works and advance rebuilt. If the side stand is a great car, closing the review, independent car gently brakes to eliminate even a potential possibility of hitting a suddenly appeared on the pedestrian road.

According to the forecast of the analytical company IHS, after 20 years on the world's roads will be 50 million Autonomous cars, and by 2050, they almost completely replace the normal, and one of the main reasons for this is the reduction to almost zero the number of road accidents. Today, according to the world health organization, on roads perishes more than a million people a year.
