5. Who built it?
• The man who built Google
self driving car
Mr. Anthony
Levandowski
6. Test Drive
• 300,000 miles
• 2 Accidents
• Lombard Street
• Lake Tahoe
• Golden Gate Bridge
7. IS IT WORTH IT?
Advantages Disadvantages
Safer for more peoples. Expensive
More efficient.
8. Background
• Google team of 15
engineers
oSebastian Thrun
• Stanley
• 33,000 annual deaths
• Safety
• Project starts 2011
9. What is it?
• It is the first truly
driverless electric car.
• With two seats and
room enough for a
small amount of
luggage.
10. Where is it?
• It operates in
and around
California,
primarily
around the
Mountain View
area where
Google has its
headquarters.
11. What does it do?
• The car is summoned
by a smartphone for
pick up at the user’s
location with the
destination set.
• There is no steering
wheel or manual
control, simply a start
button and a big red
emergency stop
button.
12. What’s it like?
• the car has “ample”
room despite being
small, likely due to the
lack of the normal
controls taking up
space in the cabin,
and "that this felt a lot
like a theme park
ride".
13. How does it work?
• The software can recognize
objects, people, cars, road
marking, signs and traffic lights,
obeying the rules of the road
and allowing for multiple
unpredictable hazards,
including cyclists. It can even
detect road works and safely
navigate around them.
15. How safe is it?
Safety measures provided:
• Seat belts
• Foam bumpers
• Flexible windscreen
• Emergency stop button
• Traffic light control
16. Why dam cute?
• The car’s cute looks and
friendly “face” were
created intentionally to be
“very Googley” according
to its designers, to put
both other road users and
passengers at ease with
the new technology
18. Why now?
• Google says it has
gone as far as it can
with the current
customized vehicles
and that a new
platform is needed to
take the project and
technology to the next
step and closer to a
product people can
actually use.
19. Does it look like a car
from inside?
• It looks same as the
other cars but without
steering and gear
system. The car has two
traditional car seats, and
has standard seat belts.
It also provides more
comfortable experience.
20. Who will build it for me?
• Google is proving the
technology, but it is unlikely
to make the cars for sale
once that technology is
ready for the mass market.
• Toyota, Ford or Fiat will be
the Google car in the future
21. When can I get one?
• Google says the cars
should be road-ready
by early next year, but
that testing would take
more than two years.
22. AFFORDABILITY
• The featured Prius, which starts at around $24,000, is
optioned up with a –
• $75,000 to $80,000 Velodyne LIDAR system,
• visual and radar sensors estimated to cost about $10,000,
• and a nearly $200,000 GPS array.
• Not to mention the cost of the driving computer and software.
• It may cost more than a Ferrari 599.
23. Political & Regulatory Issues
who is to blame in an accident?
Google?
Car Mechanics?
Car Owner?
Passenger?
24. Very useful .
Human safety, infrastructure efficiency, quality of life
and a ready customer base are just a few of the key
factors
Vehicles could be ready for market in as little as three
to five years.
closer to a product people can actually use.
