Google is testing its autonomous cars in a ‘Matrix-style’ version of California
“Google has created what it calls a “Matrix-style,” virtual version of California’s road system that it’s been using to test self-driving cars before sending them out onto the actual road, according to the Guardian. Google is apparently so thrilled with its simulation that it asked California’s government earlier this year, in a letter obtained by the Guardian, whether it could use these virtual simulations in place of actual driving tests when certifying a vehicle for public road tests — and it seems that it may be able to.”

How do we control robots on the moon?
In the future, we imagine that teams of robots will explore and develop the surface of nearby planets, moons and asteroids - taking samples, building structures, deploying instruments.
Have a say on these robotics solutions before they enter the market!
We have gathered robots which are being developed right now or have just entered the market. We have set these up in a survey style consultation.
