Information Technology It
I could still remember the day I watch the iRobot as a teen, and being skeptical about my brother’s statement that one day, the driverless car will become reality. And it’s now a reality, made possible by… a search engine company, Google.
While the data source is still a secret recipe, the Google driverless car is powered by artificial intelligence that utilizes the input from the video cameras inside the car, a sensor on the vehicle’s top, and some radar and position sensors attached to different positions of the car. Sounds like a lot of effort to mimic the human intelligence in a car, but so far the system has successfully driven 1609 kilometers without human commands!
(You can count on one hand the number of years it will take before ordinary people can experience this.) Google co-founder, Sergey Brin said. However, innovation is an achievement, computerization is the headache. as Google currently face the challenge to forge the system into an affordable gem that every worker with an average salary could benefit from.
HOW IT WORKS.......
A Velodrome
64-beam laser range-finder sits on the car’s roof, which is
the “heart of the system”. The Artificial Intelligence (AI) system scans
and records laser measurements to create a 3D model of the world around
it which then correlates to high-resolution Google maps. From this, it
creates routes that avoid obstacles and obey traffic rules.
Google has paid extra attention to the software program to make it extremely courteous and so it will strictly adhere to road rules and careful about to pedestrian crossings. However, it can also be aggressive toward other vehicles that aren’t obeying the right-of-way rules by easing into the intersection to assert that it will be turning first.
