One challenge is creating high-definition scans of the roads and surroundings before the cars can drive along them because they cannot collect and process enough information in real time. So far, there are high-detail maps of about 2,000 miles of California’s roads, but the state has more than 170,000 miles of public roads. Google says it is interested in licensing the technology to traditional vehicle manufacturers once it has been refined.
Why are detailed, high-quality scans of the road needed?
Because the cars cannot collect and process enough information in real time Because people cannot collect and process enough information in real time Because California has thousands of miles of roads Because the cars often don’t arrive at their destination
