Google wants to “paste” victims of their cars – The Tribuno.com.ar

21 May 2016 The digital giant he presented a design that “would beat” the victim to the vehicle after being hit.

Google filed an application in the United States to obtain the patent of an adhesive substance for application to the body of their autonomous cars that, if run over a pedestrian sticking to the vehicle, to avoid injury.
the patent states that a special layer could cover the hood and front bumper of the vehicle. In the case of an accident, it would disintegrate to expose an adhesive surface with an effect similar to anti-insect role: being run over, the pedestrian would be attached to the car. The document is dated May 17 and notes that the request for registration of the patent comes from American internet giant. “The adhesive sticks to the pedestrian to vehicle for pedestrians remain attached to the vehicle until it stops, and that is not driven by the vehicle which also prevent a second impact of the pedestrian against the route or against any other object,” he says . According to Google’s arguments, a second blow on the pavement or against other objects still gives them more injuries to run over pedestrians.
Autonomous vehicles could begin to circulate in public roads within 5 years, according to early May Sergio Marchionne, director of the Italian automaker Fiat Chrysler. Central Google, Alphabet, announced earlier this month that it had made a request to Fiat of a hundred minivans specially adapted to expand its fleet of test vehicles of its draft autonomous car, Google Car. Google began testing the autonomous driving technology in 2009 with a Toyota Prius. Today it has 70 vehicles of various brands.


The incredible “bike-auto”

sustainability was present in urban mobility. He rephrased the propulsion systems of the cars providing them with renewable energy and the bike became one of the favorite transfer services. The evolution of this instrument roads materialized in a Swedish creation called PodRide, a sort of bike-auto. The bicycle is emplaced on four wheels wrapped by a waterproof cover with a picture of a traditional urban silhouette. Its height is related to measures of a small car. It has trunk, heated windscreen, air suspension seat with a backrest.
