  • Human driven car accelerate and brake more sharply than software driven cars do.
  • It is able to self driven and maintain safe distance between car.

Potential Strengths:

  • Quote from Urmson "We're spending less time in near-collision states"

Potential Problems:

  • Did not provide the area the car were tested on.

Pictures:

Discussion Questions:

  • Is the car connected to the server or is it offline on it's own?
