Why Google's self-driving car may save lives - May. 10. NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- Google's self-driving car got its license this week as the state of Nevada became the first in the nation to license the company's vehicles. And while a computer-driven car may seem unsettling, the technology represents a potential leap forward in auto safety. More than 30,000 people are killed each year in crashes despite huge advances in auto safety. The overwhelming majority of those crashes are caused by human-driver error. Computer driven cars could reduce traffic deaths by a very significant degree, said David Champion, head of auto testing at Consumer Reports, but only if all cars are computer-driven. "I think if all the cars were self-driving, it would be a benefit," he said. "I think a mixture would be a bit chaotic. " That's because humans are better at predicting the behavior of other humans than computers could ever be, he said.

"When I'm approaching an intersection, I look to see of the other driver is looking at me," said Champion. How Google Search Works. A TED speaker's worst nightmare. Exclusive!

PM Mythbusters Tour - Jamie On Engineering Video Clip. So it's kind of interesting. You-- you didn't end up studying engineering in college. Is that right? That's true. I kinda wish I had but frankly now, it's, I have to say, that it would be too slow, the information that I need, I need it. There's so much out there that I don't have the time to-- to, you know, to slow down for a course structure. Sure. Well, it's funny. And I think-- I think a lot of the places like MIT, their programs that they have and most-- most universities in fact now have programs that are encouraging people to go out and-- and this-- this whole-- I think-- I'd like to think there's a whole do-it-yourself sort of mentality that is growing and-- and, you know, and so, I-- I think it's-- I think that's great.
