Tech News: Google's Fleet of AI Driverless Cars is Growing!

in #technology6 years ago

Scanning the news today I came across an interesting article about Apple. Apparently they are really making strides to become an industry leader in the self-driving car industry. This can be proven by the fact that they now have 55 self-driving cars registered with the California Department of Motor Vehicles.

When you look at what that means on a global scale you can see it means that they are not far from being the global leader in this effort. Beyond that, another point was proven based on that fact that they only had 27 earlier this year. The year before that, they only had three! A small win can be claimed due to the fact that Apple has the second largest fleet of self-driving cars in California! Not a bad start eh?

It seems a bit strange that Apple has more cars registered than Waymo. I mean, Apple has never traditionally been in the car business but there's a first time for everything! One thing that doesn't surprise me is the fact that General Motor’s Cruise is way ahead of the competition with 104 vehicles. This makes sense because they are actually in the car business and have been in it for a long time!

Based on this news I would say that society is moving in a new direction towards an age of driverless cars. I expect the transition to happen slowly but it can and will happen. The technology is here and is being improved upon every month. Get ready for an iRobot sort of reality where your car drives you to work!

I'm interested to see what my readers think about a driverless car reality? Are you ready for it? Do you see any potential problems with going in this direction?

These developments are amazing. Who would have thought a few years ago of driver less cars. Personally I wouldn't mind such a car, as long as the technology is safe and the car as well to drive with. I would really appreciate the use of time to do something more useful than just driving if it is a route I have to drive daily . On the other hand, I really do enjoy driving, and find it very relaxing in general. They should maybe give a choice between self drive or passenger drive, so there still is the option to drive whenever the owner would have that desire.

What an amazing invent from Google. This software will much impact in future. I am so hopeful on this program.
