Google Car, the driver is the software – ANSA.it

(ANSA) – ROMA, 10 FEB – software that allows Google Car to move autonomously in traffic can be seen as the eyes of the driver of American law. As reported by Bloomberg, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the controller Use for vehicle safety, is in fact agree with Google on the fact that the cars of the future “do not have a driver in the traditional sense” that the word has had in the last hundred years and more. Responding to a letter from the California-based company, which in November had the problem under the authority of the vehicles with no steering wheel or pedals, the NHTSA noted that “no human is in the car if you can drive the vehicle, it is more reasonable to identify the driver with anything (and anyone) is driving. “
the position expressed by the NHTSA does not solve by itself the various regulatory problems for the cars to autonomous driving will meet before you can get out of the test phase. Is, however, a step forward towards the future commercialization of fully autonomous vehicles without steering wheel and pedals that enable those on board to master control.
On the topic but there are different opinions. For the State of California, for example, cars are not ‘smart’ enough to be sold to the public without the steering wheel and the brake pedal. For local regulators, who are working on an ad hoc law, on board the car must be a person with a guide and a kind of special license license, received after following a course on the management of such vehicles organized by those who produce them.
