3:31 am
intersection it slowed down and steered itself into the left turn lane. it is a german car. so naturally it has a german accent. that was the voice of his secretary. >> reporter: it just took off by itself when the light turned green. now it is making this left turn by itself with other traffic around. this is absolutely amazing. just two minutes into the ride we entered a freeway on ramp. if you think a there mall merge is nerve-racking trying it with a driver talking with his hands. >> i must admit i find it disconcerting we are driving toward the freeway and you didn't have your hand on the wheel. >> shall i put them back on would it make you feel more comfortable. >> reporter: he gave us a rare opportunity to go on an actual test run near mercedes silicon valley lab. almost every major automaker is working on the technology here. nissan teamed up with nasa,

3:33 am
interact with computers and they feel more comfortable doing this. so all of a sudden we see this interest. and, hey there are certain situations where i don't want to drive, can your car do it for me? >> reporter: first you are amazed. then you begin to relax. surprisingly, it took less than 10 minutes to feel comfortable with the car in control. >> this is amazing. >> reporter: don't get too comfortable. those beeps, that's not a sound you want to hear. it means the car senses trouble and need a helping human hand. the vehicle asked me to take over. at this intersection that silver car got too close. this for example. i took over. it would have managed. it was too close for us. >> that guy was getting into our lane there. >> reporter: it only happened a few times while well were driving around. he says teaching the car to handle encounters like the silver car on chaotic city streets with impulsive human
3:34 am
drivers will keep his engineers busy for the next decade. >> i'm not an engineer. how do you figure things like that out? >> the important thing about an autonomous vehicle it has to have a very good sense of its environment. a vehicle cannot reaction to something it does not see. so we have to be very careful that we see everything that happens around us. >> reporter: the car seize with an array of cameras and radar sensors designed into the body constantly scanning up to 600 feet in all directions. we can actually detect more quickly that something is happening that makes cars and accident than the human driver can. >> so these cars would actually be safer, you're saying, than a >> that's what we aim for. >> reporter: that's what google is driving for too. its autonomous cars rely on roof mounted laser sensors to see the road. in the last six years, the fleet

3:36 am
pedestrians, cyclists and animals from their movements, size and shape. each car's daily driving experience is analyzed uploaded and shared. the cars can make predictions and choices based on the collective knowledge of the fleet. look in the lower left corner as one of his cars encounters a pickup truck that stops to parallel park. how does the computer know it is some one intending to back into a parking space and not someone stopped in the street. >> our cars have received thousand of and thousands of vehicle. they get a feeling really for what the behavior of the vehicles are going to be. it has seen lots of cars backing up. it understand if there is a space here and a car stops in front of it that means it will probably back into the spot. >> my smartphone has computer glitches. my computer has glitches. how do you get people to trust this computer on wheel is not going to have -- a glitch?
3:37 am
>> we are all used to our bits of home computing doing funny things. right. what you have to remember they're engineered and designed very differently. the way we develop the software. the way we develop the hardware. the way we think of the situations it has the to, deal with on the road. it is completely different. >> right now the technology can't handle snow. google's cars can't operate in heavy rain. the mercedes s-500 can't decipher hand gestures from traffic cops or pedestrians. 4 million miles of roads in the u.s. must be mapped in ultrahigh definition detail. the automakers call these solvable problems. in the meantime, the car industry plans to automate the driving experience feature by feature. what some are calling revolution by evolution. >> you can see bill's full report at cbsnews.com. when we return, a different type of vehicle. a time in florida where souped up golf carts are all the rage.
