Google introduces its self-driving car to Austin | Community Impact Newspaper. The Lexus RX450h SUV will be driving around Austin in the coming weeks Taylor Rice For the next few weeks in Austin, Google will be testing out its self-driving cars throughout the city. While the cars will be driving themselves, safety drivers will still monitor their performance and interject if need be. “Keeping Austin’s roads safe is one of our highest priorities,” APD Police Chief Art Acevedo said in a statement. “So we look forward to seeing how self-driving car technology might someday improve traffic safety.” These self-driving Lexus cars aim to make driving safer by eliminating human error from the road, according to a Google news release. Right above the back wheel is the processor, which is in charge of cross-checking information gathered by the sensors so different objects can be sensed and differentiated.

This combination of sensors and scanners contributes to the built-in safety the car boasts, according to Google. PulseLocal Austin: Kick Off Tickets, Austin | Eventbrite. Corey Pudhorodsky sur Twitter : "Just got done with our @KAB_Austin neighborhood clean up. #austin... Volunteer for the Tour!
