We are about to enter a new world. The next big thing is not going to be a little computer or phone–it will be a driverless care. It is not Ford or Chrysler creating it, it has already been built by GOOGLE.

“Google said last year that it had already tested the cars on the road, after notifying local police, using video cameras, radar sensors and a laser range finder to detect other traffic. Google’s map software tell the car where to go.

The self-driving cars always have a person in the driver seat who can take control of the car “as easily as one disengages cruise control,” Google said. During the testing there was also a person in the passenger seat to monitor the software.

The company said it had driven about 140,000 miles on U.S. roads in the cars.”

NNevada has already approved the car and is designing rules for it to run on its roads. Wonder if this means we can talk on our cell phones and do email while going from LA to Fresno

An idea from Google Inc.’s X lab may be nearly ready to hit the road, with the search giant reportedly considering building the driverless cars it has tested in the U.S./p>

The New York Times quoted an unnamed source who said Google (NASDAQ:GOOG) has been unimpressed by innovations out of Detroit and is considering making the cars itself.

The search giant could then make money by selling navigation or information technology for the cars, and theoretically could show location-based ads to passengers.

Nevada this year became the first state in the U.S. to approve the use of driverless cars on its roads. State legislators passed a law instructing the Nevada Department of Transportation to come up with rules including safety standards, insurance requirements and testing sites.
