Google Self Driving Car

The self-driving cars being developed by Google X are improving, but humans still have to take over on rare occasions. Google’s vision is to build vehicles that don’t require humans to be involved at all. Despite big improvements, the vehicles aren’t able to navigate all circumstances. Over a 14 month period humans have had to take the wheel 272 times, and the car would have crashed 13 times without out human intervention. At first, humans had to take control about once every 785 miles. Now humans have to take control every 5.318 miles.
