Google's Self-Driving Cars: 300,000 Miles Logged, Not a Single Accident Under Computer Control



Ever since Google began designing its self-driving cars, they've wanted to build cars that go beyond the capabilities of human-piloted vehicles, cars that are much, much safer. When Sebastian Thrun announced the project in 2010, he wrote, "According to the World Health Organization, more than 1.2 million lives are lost every year in road traffic accidents. We believe our technology has the potential to cut that number, perhaps by as much as half."

New data indicate that Google's on the right path. Earlier this week the company announced that the self-driving cars have now logged some 300,000 miles and "there hasn't been a single accident under computer control."

Sebastian Thrun left Stanford because he is in debt to Stanford people with his involvment into Stanford student May Zhou’s death, he is not innocent in an unsuccessful plotted murder on me either and I have been cursed by powers from Sebastian Thrun’s side for many years. Sebastian Thrun dare not deny to the public his involvment into such fascism crimes till today and I am still waiting to see why he dare not

This is the case which started a series of fascism crimes and which got Sebastian Thrun and Eric Schmidt involved into; The point is who is the officer, namely VVV, who's in charge of this case?

One photo would tell it all, there are seven photo evidence which documented how cruel this irrational lady was when she assaulted me on Stanford campus in 2004 http://tysurl.com/mssgYn Stanford Police Case Number: IR #04-111-0335;Victim: Peter Cao; Criminal Suspect: Gabriele Scheler

Such simple but serious campus atrocity crime was covered up by certain malicious officers. How could this happen? Who's in charge of Gabriele Scheler's case? On what basis would certain officers rule against me in favor of this criminal suspect Gabriele Scheler in light of such clear evidence of Gabriele Scheler's atrocity on my body?

The problem with Gabriele Scheler's case is that there are certain malicious officers who chose to stand on this criminal suspect Gabriele Scheler’s side and collateralled with Scheler to conspire victims(e.g. Stanford, May Zhou, me) in order to cover up their crimes while applying retaliation on victims, and most of all, such malicious officers do not want to see this case from being clarified

The assault case, by which Sebastian Thrun and Eric Schmidt started such fascism crimes, is a simple case with clear evidence and seious police investigation.

But how come Gabriele Scheler could come back and falsely accuse me for sexual assault to molest my life year after year without an end? How come the judicial officer could made up a sexual assault case against me without interviewing me even once? How could they assist Scheler to terrorize/extort Stanford without even showing me any testimony and evidence of such accusations against me? how could this case still not be clarified in judicial system after eight years? Because the crimes are not only coming from the criminals who committed these crimes, but also coming from certain malicious officers (e.g. a powerful officer namely ZZZ from Santa Clara DA's Office, and after ZZZ stepped down, another officer YYY, and officer VVV who's in charge of Gabriele Scheler's case) who egregiously miscarriage of justice.

Gabriele Scheler had been rude to Japanese and South Korea Scholars in the same office before she assaulted me; Eric Schmidt had told me "May Zhou is an Asian, police may not even find out who did it ..." And it did happen as Eric Schmidt predicted that police may not even find out who did it, which is really scary to me

By the way, who is the officer VVV in charge of Gabriele Scheler's accusation of sexual assault case? and who's the officer RRR who's responsible for May Zhou's case? I have serious stuff to report
