You can use your smartphone to summon the Google Car!
The fact that the Google Car is run almost entirely electrically should mean that there are some pretty cool applications because of it. The Google Car uses satellites and GPS for coordinating itself on the road and this also allows you to use your smartphone in order to summon the vehicle. That’s right! You can use an application downloaded on your phone. Simply put in the GPS coordinates of where you want your car to go and then be there when it arrives. Pretty neat, right?!
The Google Car was built with automated driving in mind, not adapted.
One big concern of past ‘self driving cars’ has been the fact that the vehicles haven’t been specifically built for their new purpose. Many companies have chosen to try and adapt existing vehicles in order to make their electric vehicles. While Google has no intention of starting their own car manufacturing company, they are partnering with an unknown manufacturer in order to build the Google Car from scratch. This means that you won’t have to worry about any issues. The Google Car was built specifically for its actual purpose. No adaptations needed. The rumor going around is that Elon Musk and Tesla are working with Google. This can’t be verified but it would make sense!
