The Google driverless car which was introduced or revealed on October 2010 is a project by Google that involves developing technology for driverless cars. The project is currently being led by Google engineer Sebastian Thrun, director of the Stanford Artificial Intelligence Laboratory and co-inventor of Google Street View. Sebastian Thrun helped build Google's amazing driverless car, powered by
a very personal quest to save lives and reduce traffic accidents.
Technologically, Google will need to do a lot of testing to make sure its system works in many different basic conditions and to prove that it is "safe" in basic conditions which is a challenge in itself. The bigger problem, at least as this reporter sees it, is a legal one. The hope is to allow the driverless cars to be used by blind people and people who are too intoxicated to drive.

It seems that because of LIDAR(Light Detection and Ranging) Google's Driverless Car could be expensive one, but Google engineer's are trying there best to develop it.The car was developed by Google’s “X Labs.” The Google X Lab is the same group responsible for development of Google Glass. The car is expected to lower emissions, eliminate traffic congestion and reduce human-caused automobile crashes. Lets wait for 2013 for Google's Driverless Car to be an Official in all over the World.

Google (GOOG) on August 6 2012 announced another milestone for its driverless car program.
The Internet giant revealed that its self-driving cars have now logged
more than 300,000 miles across a wide range of traffic conditions, and
no vehicle has suffered from an accident while under computer control.
The driverless program combines the company’s Street View technology
with artificial intelligence software that fully controls the vehicle
with the help of numerous cameras and sensors. The program has come a
long way and was recently granted a license from the Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles to perform tests on public streets.
The project team has equipped a test fleet of at least eight vehicles, consisting of six Toyota Prius, an Audi TT, and a Lexus RX450h, each accompanied in the driver's seat by one of a dozen drivers with
unblemished driving records and in the passenger seat by one of Google's
engineers.A Toyota Prius modified with Google's experimental driverless technology
was licensed by the Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) in May
2012. This was the first license issue in the United States for a
self-driven car.

this is known as LIDAR ("The Heart of the System") which generates 3D map of the environment |
