This City car is different in the way that it can tackle two problems at once; the first is that it does the driving for you, and the second is that it is foldable – so no worries about finding a parking spot. You still have to park the vehicle, but as it goes from 8-foot to five-foot – finding a place to park will become a much simpler task.

The General Motors EN-V is still a long way off, but at least we know that driverless car technology is progressing very well – just do not expect K.I.T.T from Knight Rider. The vehicle will use an advanced voice control system, much more advanced than those used today. Once you told your vehicle where you wish to go, it will then use new electric systems that have been built into the streets to navigate around.

This will be the ultimate EV, as it will have none of the devices used in today’s cars, such as brakes etc. We can be sure that GM is not the only company working on such a vehicle; the likes of Nissan will evolve their Leaf over time as well. For more details visit Chicago Tribune.

A team of engineers from Italy has set up the project – the 13,000-kilometer (8,000-mile) journey begins in Italy and will end in China. This is a test to see if this kind of technology will be able to be used in the future – like it was with the cab in Total recall.

The two vehicles will be easy to spot; they are bright orange in color and will have a number of logos all along the side. For those of you who will not be able to see the two vehicles on their journey, then you can visit the viac.vislab for live tracking of both driverless vehicles.

Both vans are identical and will have a driver in each, who will take control in case of an emergency. A series of lasers and cameras will be tracking the road around the vehicles to make certain that they do not hit any obstacles, which will be hard to miss on the busy streets along the journey.

I do not believe I just said that, how do I get to my destination on a plane? – Autopilot that’s what. Still there is a huge amount of space up there, so chances of crashing into another plane are very slim. So why all the sudden interest with driverless vehicles?

It seems that a team of Italian engineers has managed to develop not one but two driverless vehicles, which will take part in a road-trip with a distance of 8,000 miles. Both vans will begin their journey in Italy and will end in China, according to The Washington Post; the trip will take 3 months to complete.

The technology used is not that complex, just a series of laser sensors and cameras to help navigate the car. Although the car will drive itself there will still need to be a driver inside – just incase something goes wrong and they have to take over. For more details on this visit our source link above.
