Basically the car works with a Velodyne 64-beam laser mounted on the roof on the car, the laser produces a detailed 3D map of the environment and takes measurements of the area. The car uses the data from the 3D map and the measurements to avoid obstacles and respect traffic laws. Furthermore, the car uses various sensors, two of which are placed on the front and rear bumpers to track obstacles. There is also a camera, that detects traffic lights, GPS, inertial measurement unit, and wheel encoder, that determine the vehicle's location and keep track of its movements. In my opinion, the idea of a self driving car is incredible if it is built correctly, however I believe that the wheel encoder may invade the privacy of some.

I'm a bit curious Jorge, how would this invade the privacy of some? This is an amazing technological improvement, it will be interesting to see what happens in the future with this. This is a quite good article on how it works http://news.discovery.com/autos/how-google-self-driving-car-works-111018.html

Because the car records it's position using the GPS, if a black hacker is able to get hold of this information the owner of the car could be put at risk.

This is a good system since cars that drive themselves will decrease danger in the road. They're programmed and don't have the problem of "drinking and driving" like humans do. This is an advantage because it will reduce danger. Plus, it will increase time for leisure since people can be socializing with people or doing work instead of driving.
