Self driving cars are close. What if i told you they were so close it has already started. Google has created their own self driving car and is ready to hit the road. Advances in sensor technology and machine learning capability has made this all possible. The ability for the machine to gather and learn information means self driving cars will be a regular sight in a few year. Other companies have also discovered this technology. Tesla already has self driving cars on the road today. This emerging technology can make a huge difference in our society. It will eliminate the danger of drunk, high, and drowsy driving. It will also allow people to use their cell phones safely in the car and eliminate distractions at the wheel.
