I don't think I want to have to call tech support and do a hard reset on my
car AT 150MPH.

I AM impressed with the Android OS. It seems to work great for
everything I use it for and my Evo 4g has seen hard, daily abuse as my only
internet connection(I use 20gigs a month on it) and has only needed reset
twice in the last couple months. Otherwise it has been trouble free. I
still don't think I would be comfortable trusting it with my life.

So what happens when the OS lags or crashes? Does the car just die and
leave you temporarily stranded? That won't be pleasant if it happens in
the middle of a busy street or freeway and you're left blocking
traffic..... I would hope that the car OS is more reliable than the
current Android.....

Google's autonomous cars have passed their first driving test in Nevada,
which included a trip along the famous Las Vegas Strip. The self-driving
cars are based on Toyota's hybrid hatchback
The desert state is the first to grant the vehicles a licence to use
public roads. They are controlled by computers processing a combination
of mapping data, radar, laser sensors and video feeds.
Officials from the Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles rode in the cars
"along freeways, state highways and neighborhoods both in Carson City
and the busy Las Vegas Strip", they said in a statement.
It comes after Nevada passed laws to create a new type of licence for
autonomous vehicles last year, which came into effect on 1 March.
The autonomous cars, based on Toyota Prius hybrid hatchbacks, will now
be allowed on public roads for further development and testing, carrying
a distinctive red licence plate with an infinity symbol on the left side.
Google is one off several firms racing to develop cars able to drive
themselves. It is competing with car manufacturers as well as military
firms to develop the technology. The web giant's executive chairman Eric
Schmidt has argued that the fact that current vehicles rely on human
drivers is a "bug".
"It's amazing to me that we let humans drive cars," he said in 2010 as
Google ramped up its research,in partnetship with Stanford University.
As well as Nevada, Google's home state of California is considering laws
to allow autonomous cars on its roads.
"The vast majority of vehicle accidents are due to human error,"
California state Senator Alex Padilla said in March when he introduced
autonomous car legislation.
"Through the use of computers, sensors and other systems, an autonomous
vehicle is capable of analyzing the driving environment more quickly and
operating the vehicle more safely."
