The idea of a driverless car is not new. Now there are already cars on the road that
can park themselves. But a truly self- driving car, one that can drive itself is being tested
by scientists and engineers.
Self- driving cars have already tested on public roads. These cars not only record
images of the road, but their computerized maps view road signs, find alternative routes
and see traffic lights even before they are seen by a person. By using radars and cameras,
the cars can analyze information about their surroundings faster than a human can.
In some of the tests, the car learn the details of a road by driving on it several
times, and when it is time to drive itself, it can identify when there are pedestrians
crossing and then stops to let them pass by. Self- driving cars could make transport safer
for all of us eliminating the cause of most today's accidents.
Although self- driving cars may seem far off, some people believe that there will
be driverless cars in showrooms in about 10 years.
