Google’s Robot Car Video Is The Prius Driver’s Anti-Human Dream Made Real

by | 11th, October 2010

GOOGLE has robot cars, computer-controlled vehicles that can drive about taking photos of you, the roads, your house, the hops, the people and pretty much everything.

The company’s chief executive officer, Eric Schmidt, says:

“Your car should drive itself. It just makes sense. It’s a bug that cars were invented before computers.”

Nothing cannot be improved without computers, says Google.

And what car is Google using as its robot car? Why, it’s the Toyota Prius – the perfect vehicle for people who hate driving but like to look progressive.

Can’t accuse Google of not doing its research.
