NO DRIVER, SO NO TICKET: The Google Self-Driving Car Is Rocking The Street Slowly.


WATCH THE VIDEO
Report reaching us from US in Mountain View, California on Thursday said it all about the trend we are, in terms of technology in this our world today. No driver? so, no ticket. That was what the police on traffic duty experienced on Thursday as
Google self-driving car approached the traffic point in a slower speed as regards the maximum speed expected as at that particular time.


 According to the Mountain View Police Department, the car wasn't speeding. On the contrary, it was driving too slowly -- 24 miles per hour in a 35 mph zone, -- with traffic apparently backing up behind it. Amazingly, as the officer approached, he noticed that it is Google Autonomous self-driving car, no driver inside but, a passenger was in, fully enjoying himself.

When asked the reason of the slow movement of the car, The Google self-driving car project pled guilty to slow driving. Here is their final statement; "We've capped the speed of our prototype vehicles at 25 mph for safety reasons," the post said. "We want them to feel friendly and approachable, rather than zooming scarily through neighborhood streets."

The project term maintained their ego by making it known that the self-driving car have break records of no offensive driving along the way also, hints on the car's non-blemish riding. In further statement they are really proud when they said;  "After 1.2 million miles of autonomous driving (that's the human equivalent of 90 years of driving experience), we're proud to say we've never been ticketed!" the car project posted.

Taking this to our Nigerian dispensation where the police is always on the road to collect bribe, i believe that this will truly make it impossible for Nigerian police to collect their N20 bribe. How i wish this could be introduced immediately into this nation. Bravo to Larry Page and friends!!
