Hi Friends, today I am sharing with you something very hot. It’s about a car having no steering wheel, clutch paddle, brake paddle, and no gas paddle. Yes, you heard right. Internet King Google is making a car which have no steering wheel and paddles at all, still works like a normal car. It is a two sitter car. Sergey Brin(Co-founder of Titan Technology) announced that Google is making 100 such type of Prototype cars. So friends, let us explore the unique and amazing features of Google Prototype...

How it works?
It has a “GO” and a “STOP” button to control the car and a mobile app to summon the car. When you want to start your journey, you have to press “GO” button. We just have to set destination location and car will automatically manage to reach there. It have built-in artificial intelligence which helps it to automatically manage all functions which otherwise a driver have to perform like it stops automatically when way is engaged or someone came in front of car. It has a sensor at the top of the car which instructs it in finding its way to destination. It can detect objects in any direction at a distance of more than two football fields away. It can run at a maximum speed of 25 M.P.H. (40-41 km/h)

Body Design:
At its first look, if you think that car is happy to see you, it’s not an accident. Google designed its front grill “Face” to look friendly. Chris Urmson(head of the self-driving car project) told that “We definitely would like the vehicle to appear friendly. When you look at the front grill of any car, there’s a lot of thought put into that shape and what kind of emotion it shows. Many of them look like faces. In our case we wanted to find something that’s very Googley. It’s friendly, it’s kind of cute. We hope it fits into neighborhoods.”

When will it come in Market?
Prototype is the first model or sample car made by Google but Google will not sell it on its own and have no current planning of entering into Auto Manufacturing sector. Google had mention in its Official blog, that it may enter into partnership with some other company to manufacture and market it.
