To Google is now in broad usage as a verb for retrieving information from the intemet.If the tech giant has its way,"I Googled"will become a standard reply to the question,"How did you get here?"On May 28th Coogle said it would build 100 prototype driverless cars without pedals,steering wheel or controls.It is the next stage in its apparent quest to be as popular on the road as on computer screens.People have dreamed about driverless motoring since at least the 1930s,but only in recent years have carmakers such as Mercedes-Benz and Volvo given the matter more thought,kitting out test cars with Lhe sensors and sophisticated software required lo negoliate busy roads.Google has roared ahead by designing a drivedess car from the ground up.But bringing autonomous motoring to the world is proving harder than Google had envisaged.
如今．“谷歌”被广泛用于互联网信息检索，因而“谷歌”常被用作动词。如果这一科技巨头独行其道，对于“你是怎么过来的？”这种问题，它的标准答案将会是“我谷歌来的”。5月28日，谷歌表示，其将制造100辆无人驾驶原型车，它们没有踏板，没有方向盘，也没有控制表盘。谷歌希望在无人车市场能够做到与在搜索引擎市场一样受欢迎，这显然是它下一阶段的追求。至少从20世纪30年代起，人们就已经开始设想无人驾驶汽车，但只有在近些年，一些汽车制造商如梅赛德斯一奔驰和沃尔沃才尝试将这一想法付诸实践。汽车装载着传感器和复杂的软件，被要求在繁忙的道路上通过测试。谷歌公司从零起步，设计无人驾驶汽车，已经鹤立鸡群。但是事实证明，无人驾驶汽车的面世比谷歌预想的要难。
