He has a chauffeur and it s a robot. Levandowski backs out of his suburban driveway in the usual manner.

And with that, Levandowski has handed off control of his vehicle to software named Google Chauffeur. He takes his feet off the pedals and puts his hands in his lap.

and if Chauffeur were perfect, he might use the time napping in the backseat. In reality, Levandowski has to stay awake and behind the wheel,

because when Chauffeur encounters a situation in which it s slightly unsure of itself, it asks him to retake control.

while Chauffeur drives the freeways. Still, it s a lot better than driving the whole way. Levandowski has his hands on the wheel for just 14 minutes of his hour-long commute:

For Chauffeur to make it to your driveway, it will have to run a gauntlet: Chauffeur must navigate a path through a skeptical Detroit, a litigious society,

and a host of technical catch-22 s. Right now, Chauffeur is undergoing what s known in Silicon valley as a closed beta test.

In the language particular to Google, the researchers are#oedogfooding#the car#riving to work each morning in the same way that Levandowski does.

#Currently, the data reveal that so-called release versions of Chauffeur will, on average, travel 36,000 miles before making a mistake severe enough to require driver intervention.

A mistake doesn t mean a crash#t just means that Chauffeur misinterprets what it sees.

How many seconds of warning should Chauffeur provide before giving back the controls? The driver would need a bit of time to gather situational awareness,

#So far, Chauffeur has a clean driving record. There has been reported only one accident that can conceivably be blamed on Google.

so the accident wasn t Chauffeur s fault. It was due to ordinary human error. Human drivers get into an accident of one sort or another an average of once every 500

the argument could be made that Google Chauffeur is already as safe as the average human driver.

#he said and then ticked off the goodies#oethe Android operating system, search, voice, social, maps, navigation, even Chauffeur.#

For the car companies, the real cost of implementing the technology would be specialized in the peripheral that Chauffeur needs to run:

#However, without reinventing Chauffeur and the super-high-resolution Google maps that go with it, Hall doesn t see the point.

as Chauffeur needs to be able to hand back the reins with 10,20, or maybe even 30 seconds notice.

So far Chauffeur has a clean driving record. There has been reported only one accident that can conceivably be blamed on Google.

and according to Google spokespeople the car was not in self-driving mode at the time so the accident wasn't Chauffeur's fault.

Considering that the Google self-driving program has clocked already half a million miles the argument could be made that Google Chauffeur is already as safe as the average human driver.

The Google car doesn't work without one as Chauffeur needs to be able to hand back the reins with 10 20 or maybe even 30 seconds'notice.
