Google will teach its self-driving cars to honk when necessary

Google is teaching its self-driving cars to honk in appropriate situations. As stated in the company's report on this direction, for each case, the car should honk differently.

For example, if another car in front will quietly pass backwards, then two “soft” signals are enough. In an emergency, the Google car should give one long horn.

At first, Google engineers made the sound of the horn only inside the car and recorded whether it worked at the right time or not. Subsequently, when the algorithm began to work better, they began to buzz "out".

• Google started working on self-driving cars in 2009. Now their cars drive in California, Arizona, Texas and Washington. They covered about 2.5 million kilometers. On February 14, 2016, Google's self-driving car got into an accident for the first time through its own fault . Before that, cars got into accidents, but through no fault of their own .
• Self-driving cars are also being developed by Apple, although they don't talk about it publicly. A limited driverless ride feature is found in Tesla vehicles .
