For most of us, the Google driverless car project is just another esoteric thing that Silicone Valley billionaires do with all their money. However, it might surprise you to learn that the driverless car project has the potential to influence the direction that the automotive industry goes. Everything from cheap car insurance to motor vehicle laws could – and most likely will – be changed by this project.
The driverless car project is an ambitious undertaking by a team of Google-sponsored engineers to create artificial intelligence software powerful enough to enable a car to drive on the road. Importantly, the software these engineers are creating isn’t just intended to navigate the car so that it won’t hit the median or go into the ditch. The ambition is to create cars that can drive on the road with other drivers, reacting to the same stimuli human drivers respond to and making the same decisions human drivers make.
