Google's Driverless Car

A driverless Toyota Prius equipped with radar sensors, video cameras, as well as laser range finder, has been launched by Google. The world's first driverless vehicle traveled 140,000 miles without any issues during its trip.

The new technology is a step towards the development of a safe driverless transportation system on city streets. The first steps in the creation of such systems were made in the military field, but Google was the first to come up with a system that allows a vehicle to drive along busy city streets. The main goal of the Silicon Valley-based company is to create a safer and more efficient transportation system that would reduce the number of car accidents.
