The engineers who presented the most refined idea of a car that does not need a driver became the pioneers of self-driven cars and laboratories sprung up around the United States. In 2009, Google begins developing its self-driving car project, now called Waymo, and by 2013, major automotive companies including General Motors,…
project. Prior to the planning process is to recognize the goals of the project, or to specify objectives of the business. In this case, the goal for this project is to import and distribute these cars to New Zealand, but before we can achieve that we have to make the public comfortable with the self-driving car.
