LOW COST SELF-DRIVING CAR UNVEILED BY OXFORD UNIVERSITY

Truth be told, even as a tech-blogger, I never believed that one day cars will eventually drive themselves someday. I taught that if cars should drive themselves someday.., that will be the end of technology. But two years after, I was proved wrong. Cars do drive themselves.

Recently, the Oxford University unveiled a low cost self-driving car. Dubbed RobotCar, knows when to offer a helping to the driver when driving on routes it has already traveled using an iPad mounted on the dashboard.
Unlike Google self-driving cars that uses Global positioning system, GPS, to recognize their surroundings, The RobotCar uses laser and small cameras mounted on each sides of the car.
As at this moment, the system cost around 5000 British pound, but in future, they hope to reduce it to 500 British pounds.
The RobotCar is undergoing test drive in the UK.
