Google certainly has pockets deep enough to fool the self-drive with all kinds of expensive equipment, but researchers at the University of Oxford have begun testing a solution that aims to keep things affordable. At present, the system uses a series of low-profile stereo cameras and lasers that sounds about ? 5,000 (about 7,750), but the next goal is to beat the price to € 500, and finally in a cool ? 100 (about $ 150). "Really, you need to solve the challenges of engineering does not rely on costly sensors, but the sensors based on cheap," said Professor Paul Newman

. "But things are very intelligent sensor with cheap food."

Instead of serving as a driver of the vehicle at all times, Newman's vision for Nissan modified leaf RobotCar nicknamed, is to take control in some cases. While pilots make their trip, the system includes a 3D map of the environment of the car and it is committed to memory. When the car identifies a family atmosphere and is confident in its ability to take care of, you can leave the driver you're ready to take over. At this time, the car was tested on private roads, but the team behind it is working with the Ministry of Transportation of the United Kingdom to take on the road.
