Google has you covered if you are a pedestrian. ;D On the front page of my newspaper this morning is an article about a new Google patent application. It is designed to save pedestrians when one of their self-driving cars hits one of those soft two-leg mobile devices that gets in its way. It is something like fly paper that will cover the hood of the car. :o When the robot hits a pedestrian, he falls backward and sticks to the hood of the car, thereby preventing the poor sap from being tossed on to the pavement. :) (Then the robot car can drive him to the hospital, with a stop at his attorney's office along the way, and he will never need the services of an ambulance.) Sounds like a very efficient idea to me. ::) I am sure that it will be well received by all government regulators. ;)
The article was written by Ethan Baron of the Bay Area News Group.

I could see an application when the neighbours kids play soccer too close from parked car : they'll never get their ball back!
