    It's been over a year, Sebastian Thrun first announced the Google's driverless car project and emphasised much about the project, how intensely we need driverless cars to stop accidents happening, because of reckless driving (sometimes due to minor human errs). But in a small time period of, just in a one plus year, Google achieved it by finally receiving a #-Link-Snipped-#

     These driverless cars already got license to wander all over the Nevada, earlier this year to qualify the car for patent. So far, these cars covered more than tens of thousands of miles with a single accident near Google HQ in Mountainview. Later it was identified that this accident was due to a human error and not because of the automated driving system.
    Hence, we can say that the Google passed testing these auto-driving cars without even a single accident. These cars, first gets the user's destination and then it would get the directions from internet through a URL, a QR code or a Radio. Then with the help of a large number of sensors, the car would drive itself by following all traffic rules no matter what happens.

    So sooner, we are going to use an another science fiction stuff so far. Currently, there are seven cars, those needs no drivers, in operation, which was confirmed by Google along with this patent information to #-Link-Snipped-#

    The below video is a wonderful demonstartion of Google's driverless cars by Sebastin Thrun.
