Autonomous Car in Action

Nowadays, with the development of technology its no wonder that we see a lot of smart cars all over the world, but this time we have something special. We might not need to hire a driver if we're too lazy to take ourselves around town in the future. This smart taxi developed in Germany and it drives itself without a driver. Here is Germany's Freie University that has just demostrated self-driving driverless taxi to rival with Google's self-driving cars that have travelled some of trickiest road in California last which developed last week. When the Google's robot cars has the backup human driver, the autonomous car developed in Germany has its own.



This taxi drives itself is equipped with laser, radar and sensor-equipped VW Passat, dubbed "Made in Germany," has a companion  an iPad app from Appirion are used for navigation of this driverless VW Passat. All that you have to do in order to use this smart cars is to start an app on you iPad, enter your coordinates  and taxi will find you according to your GPS coordinates and pick you up such like you are a rich kid. After that, you just have to enter your desired location and you’re ready to go. 



Instead of waiting aimlessly outside in the rain, like so many of us have had to do after we’ve called a taxi, iPad owners can sit inside and track the taxi’s location in real time. Self-driving taxi from Germany’s Freie University just like the perfect future car, but it will take some time until standard taxis are replaced by the smart ones.

Check out the video to get clear how does the autonomous car actually work:
