At this week’s TED 2011 conference, Google has been inviting attendees to take a spin inside its self-driving cars. Search Engine Land’s Danny Sullivan managed to take a short video of his ride.
Yesterday at TED, Sebastian Thrun, the Google engineer heading up the project, shared his personal motivation in researching self-driving cars: When he was 18, his best friend died in a car accident, and since then he “has dedicated himself to saving a million lives a year by eradicating driver error.”
