Google: Driverless car parts from Nevada?

The car you drive alone is a dream that Google is putting into practice for some time, he's discussed several times in the past and it continues to discuss among themselves experts. The audience response was divided between the incredulous enthusiast, going to those who see in these cars and robots the future of transport for those who can not even accept the idea of traveling up to half which is driven a computer.

These opposing views on the feasibility of applying the idea for a debate that is sure to be turned on in the near future. This, however, places limits far more practical and not simple solutions. Apart from the verification of the actual efficiency of such innovation, deserves great attention to the legal aspect of the car without a human driver, to the extent that the laws relating to road traffic from all countries of the world does not even contemplate this possibility.

Obviously this affects the same Google that would like to test on roads open to the public its specially modified Toyota Prius, but that at the time, he had to settle for carrying out the test on roads closed to traffic. The American group would be so trying to get a waiver from the state of Nevada in order to travel on public roads with these particular vehicles, in order to fine-tune the operation to determine unequivocally whether or not the feasibility of the project with today's technologies.

The go-ahead by the authorities in these experiments should arrive by June, making way for Google to continue following their own plans, which foresee a future where the car without a driver will be a regular thing, with potential benefits for the road safety, since, according to Google, should be abolished all human error, that the main causes of many accidents around the world.
