Google Inc (GOOG): The Company’s 5 Most Secretive R&D Projects

No.3 Self-Driving Car

One of the most popular examples of Google X existing projects is self-driving car. Google says on its blog that the goal of this project is to enhance traffic safety and free up people’s time. Self-driving cars by Google already have over 100,000 miles driven on public roads. They use video cameras, radar sensors and a laser range finder to analyze the traffic and detailed maps for navigation. If this project ends with a success, it will definitely change the use of cars.
