Google Revealed Self-Driving Car Prototype With No Steering Wheel Or Pedals

It was in the year 2010 that Google started developing that so called "self driving car" but later this summer, Google revealed it's prototype of a Self-Driving Car with no Steering Wheel or Pedals on it. Designed to operate safely and autonomously without requiring human intervention, this self-driving vehicle has Google Software and sensors which will do all the works and replaced those steering wheel, accelerator pedal, or brake pedal in ordinary cars.

"The vehicles will be very basic—we want to learn from them and adapt them as quickly as possible—but they will take you where you want to go at the push of a button. And that's an important step toward improving road safety and transforming mobility for millions of people. " said in the post.

Take a look on this first Drive video.


"It was inspiring to start with a blank sheet of paper and ask, “What should be different about this kind of vehicle?” We started with the most important thing: safety. They have sensors that remove blind spots, and they can detect objects out to a distance of more than two football fields in all directions, which is especially helpful on busy streets with lots of intersections. And we’ve capped the speed of these first vehicles at 25 mph. On the inside, we’ve designed for learning, not luxury, so we’re light on creature comforts, but we’ll have two seats (with seatbelts), a space for passengers’ belongings, buttons to start and stop, and a screen that shows the route—and that’s about it." they added.

Check GOOGLE + New Interface and New Look

So after the controversial Facebook Cover Photo and Timeline, Google +, Google's Social networking site or platform just recently rolled out their new offering to netizens most especially on its interface, navigation and look, not to mention its Cover Photo situated in the uppermost part of your profile (sounds familiar, huh?). In this update, Google Plus aims to allow users to create a more customized experience on the site.

Navigation Update:

First thing I notice is the dynamic ribbon of applications on the leftmost part of the page and this includes:

  • You can drag apps up or down to create the order you want
  • You can hover over certain apps to reveal a set of quick actions
  • You can show or hide apps by moving them in and out of “More”

“Taken together, these powers make it easier to access your favorites, and to adjust your preferences over time,” Google senior vice president Vic Gundotra wrote on Google’s Official Blog. “We’ve also built the ribbon with the future in mind, giving us an obvious (and clutter-free) space for The Next Big Feature, and The Feature After That. So stay tuned.”



"By focusing on you, the people you care about, and the stuff you’re into, we’re going to continue upgrading all the features you already know and love—from Search and Maps to Gmail and YouTube. With today’s foundational changes we can move even faster—toward a simpler, more beautiful Google." ended Vic Gundotra

What do you think of this latest rollout? Can Google Plus compete with Facebook by then?

Looking forward, Google will be implementing a feature called "Direct Connect.". This feature takes you directly to a certain Google Plus page if you are doing a research.Direct Connect is also being rolled out incrementally, thus, it doesn't yet work for all pages.
