Self-driving Cars Hacked Using a Simple Laser and a Raspberry Pi
The technology companies are moving fast in the direction of bringing more and moreintelligence to their products. Along similar lines, each week we hear new developments being made in the fields of automobiles and self-driving vehicles. Google has been testing its self-driving car with great excitement and sharing the pictures of the interiors of its cute-little self-driving car.
