New Delhi: In what could help Google’s driverless cars gain a plus point in the growing debate about how ‘safe’ these unmanned vehicles are to be fully commercialised, it has been now found that the search giant’s autonomous cars are safe around kids.
In its post on Halloween – a celebration where mostly children are seen moving carefree from one house to the other for ‘trick or treat’ in the neighbourhood – Google explained that how it is teaching its autonomous cars to drive more cautiously around children.
When the sensors inside the Google car detect children, oddly costumed or not, the software understands that they may behave differently. As children could suddenly dart across the road or run on the sidewalk, the unpredictable behavior is what Google’s software in the car aims to understand and be cautious.
In the shared post, a group of kids are seen playing around the car so that it could learn their unpredictable movement on the street and be safer than ever.
