Dona, has anyone described to you what this prototype car looks like? There
were some photos leaked a while back, who knows since they are rumors but they
basically had a pod that had 4 wheels (it’s not a 3 wheeler like some models)
and it had no (0) windows. Think about that for a minute. What it did have
were screens and cameras and a ton of autonomous driving features.
You’d also be interested in what Google is doing. They have already
had blind folks operating their autonomous vehicles for a while now. I believe
that one of the engineers on the project is blind but I haven’t been able to
come up with a name. I saw a special on CNBC about a year ago and can’t recall
the gentleman’s name they had who was using the car to get to and from work and
to the store etc. It would drop him off in front of the grocery store door,
he’d do his thing and come out and hit a key fob that would summon the car that
had parked it self and it pulled up and picked him up.
Never thought I’d see it in my lifetime, shocks me how far along they actually
are. Google has made massive steps forward in machine vision.
