California Governor Gives Green Light to Google Robots

More recently, there was news on the Web that almost all the obstacles to robomobiles disappeared, and there was only one formality - the signing of the relevant bill by the governor of California. If anyone is interested, then the bill is serial number SB1298. Now all the formalities are over: the governor signed this bill.

It is clear that the corporation did not just get this victory. According to some reports, the company had to invest a lot of money and effort into lobbying the bill. Something around $ 8 million was spent, including several hundred thousand donated to the election campaign of some of the candidates in the respective party.

But what is a few million dollars for such a corporation? Moreover, the money was spent on promoting technology that could play an important role in the future. The governor, as far as you can understand, was also inspired by the idea of ​​introducing robomobiles into ordinary life. At the same time, Jerry Brown, the governor’s name, personally visited the headquarters of Google Corporation, where he signed the document.

Of course, the signing of the bill paves the way not only for Google’s robomobiles, it will allow the movement of cars with automatic control from other companies as well.
