+Google Self-Driving Car Project - Test Drive !

Google took few people for a test drive in their self-driving car, and it is fully Electric ! - of course -



" Fully autonomous driving has always been the goal of our project, because we think this could improve road safety and help lots of people who can't drive.

We're now developing prototypes of vehicles that have been designed from the ground up to drive themselves—just push a button and they'll take you where you want to go! We'll use these vehicles to test our software and learn what it will really take to bring this technology into the world.

Watch volunteers take a ride in Mountain View, California. Then read more at: http://goo.gl/qDUtgq "

Speeding BMW i3 in Germany

Check out this amateur video shot by a German motorcyclist following a BMW i3 at high speed

This Electric BMW is fast !



"Meine erste Sichtung eines BMW i3 auf der Strasse. Ich rätsle immer noch wie weit so ein Stromer kommt, wenn man eine zügige Fahrweise, wie dieser "Tester" im Video, vorlegt. Jedenfalls bezweifle ich die 130 Km, welche für reinen Strombetrieb angegeben werden.
Wenn die Reichweite stimmen würde, hielte ich dieses Auto für alltagstauglich."


"My first sighting of a BMW i3 on the road. I still like you puzzle so far electricity comes when you speedy driving, as this "tester" in this video presents. Anyway, I doubt the 130 km of which are given for pure current mode.
If the range would agree, I would consider this car for everyday use."

First Renault ZOE I see on the road

Shot tonight on my way back from work close to La Défense, Paris, riding my Vectrix VX-1

and followed up to Suresnes ... to take more pictures from the side (had to find a way to protect my iPhone from the rain under this bridge)
