This next generation car is fitted with almost all the major sceintific gadgets like video cameras, radar sensors, a laser range finder , and detailed maps which are used to navigate the road ahead.
Google Inc. had taken the services of the major engineers from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), who have worked their best for the development of this marvelous machine. Effective care has been taken on the safety mechanisms. The driver's seat is not left vaccant, and a trained software operator is seated in the car to monitor the software programming.
