Eric Schmidt recently had explained to the public because Google takes time to the project of "smart car", i.e. the cars that drive themselves.
One of the elements on which leverages Schmidt's speech is that of security road, because Google says a car driven by a computer is less dangerous than the one led by a human, especially when drunk, and how he's wrong.
Second, the distractions, even for those not addicted to alcohol are endless, talking on the phone while driving is "old stuff" right now many people use Facebook at the wheel , with easily imaginable consequences.

The technological problems are enormous, but in the few months Google has achieved great results, especially after the approval of the state of Arizona to test on busy roads.
From his blog, then Google has announced that its 12 unmanned car totaled 300,000 miles of road between the unsuspecting American motorists.
The developers admit that they still have long way to go, cars are not yet able to handle the snow, identify the temporary street signs (those yards) and other problems that inevitably block the sending computer that drives a car.
To date, the cars were always accompanied by two human operators, who were monitoring the activities of the car and avoid dangerous situations, but from now on, Google announced that any car will have only a driver for daily testing, thanks to the stability demonstrated by the system.
Chris Urmson , chief engineer overseeing the project, after introducing a new car to the Google team, ie the SUV Lexus RX450h hybrid , has concuso the post stating that cars have suffered minor injuries, but ironically, it specifies that have occurred every After the autopilot was disengaged.
