Google will test autonomous driving cars in Nevada (USA)

Back in February, Nevada passed the tests of vehicles “Driving Self” or autonomous driving on their roads, and now it seems that Google will be one of the first companies to test autonomous driving a car in Nevada.

Google has been licensed by the Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles to test their autonomous vehicles on the roads of Nevada, in order to obtain the license, Google had to post a bond or insurance of $ 1 million and also described how they plan to test vehicles.

Check his video below:

Today, even though Nevada has approved the road tests of cars Google test, each must be accompanied by two human pilots, of which one must be able to take the wheel if the system has some evil operation.

The cars use a combination pedestrian tracking and high-speed obstacles, among other things, but autonomy can be eliminated if the human driver touches the steering wheel or brake pedal. You can view a video showing the operation of the system below.

Chrome OS The Seemed Reasonable of Chrome OS and Windows

What does this mean? That, to resemble well-known systems, consumers need not adopt or even learn new practices for operating use Chrome OS, a drawback that has been weighing on sales of Chromebook from the implementation of the project.

The change is driven by the new window manager, named Aura, which adds a traditional desktop interface with support for wallpaper. It also supports stacked windows, a task manager and application launcher. Add new ways to manage multiple monitors, a review of the application Scratchpad, improved video and audio players, and support for tar, gz, and bzip2.

The guys from Mountain View say that, in addition, this framework will provide “animated transitions and effects to large scale.”

The new version (19.0.1048.17) Google’s operating system is now available in the channel of Chrome OS development teams Samsung Series 5 and the Acer AC700. Of course, for now Aura will not be compatible with the original prototype Cr-48 for reasons of hardware limitations.

Google Will Buy Yahoo Google Wants to Control the Core Business of Yahoo!

Google has spoken with at least two private equity firms on financing to buy Yahoo’s core business. Google and potential partners that has conducted the initial stages of discussion, but no formal proposals. As it is written in the Wall Street Journal, Google is doing this to take ownership of the shares owned by Microsoft.

As noted by eMarketer, Google is the number one player in an internet search, but weak in display advertising. In the U.S., Facebook is expected to generate over 2 billion U.S. Net income in display advertising in 2011 and Yahoo after the U.S. produces 1.6 million dollars. Google estimates that only produce 1.1 billion U.S..

To do so, Google wants to sell advertising space on the Yahoo site. Such as interactive graphics and video ads. This business is estimated to generate U.S. potentially 2000000000 year. Industry experts said the Yahoo ad space is “undermonetized” that means you can earn more money if Yahoo! invested more in technology. This is what Google wants to get behind the investment opportunities.

Yahoo really wants to redo the partnership with Microsoft, AOL and other online content publishers to create advertising space to create a market for competitors challenging DoubleClik owned by Google. In addition, Yahoo also has a working relationship with the owners of premium content such as ABC News, which provides video content.

Google saw the opportunity to embrace Yahoo’s 700 million visitors to use social networking Google Earth Plus is developing this year. Google executives have contacted Yahoo executives on the cooperative relationship, but until now there has been an evolution of the results of the meeting.
