For example, by determining the size of the vehicle, it will be able to understand what type of vehicle is nearby. What\u2019s even more important is the fact that the invention is directed towards avoiding accidents with School Buses. Taking into consideration the color of the bus, it will be able to change its driving behavior like may be driving slowly till the time bus moves away to a safe distance.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.citiusminds.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/GoogleSchoolBus.png\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-953\" src=\"http:\/\/www.citiusminds.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/GoogleSchoolBus.png\" alt=\"GoogleSchoolBus\" width=\"704\" height=\"559\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.citiusminds.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/GoogleSchoolBus.png 704w, https:\/\/www.citiusminds.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/GoogleSchoolBus-300x238.png 300w, https:\/\/www.citiusminds.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/GoogleSchoolBus-640x508.png 640w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 704px) 100vw, 704px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The patent was granted within five months of filing which indicates that the concept of detection is fairly novel and that Google will be able to bring this patented feature to life soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Couple of week\u2019s back we covered, how Google is heavily involved in research and development of self-driven cars.
