Despite the fact that Google's self-driving auto venture has not yet seen any mishaps brought on by a mistake on the independent vehicle's end, the tech goliath's test autos have gotten in a few mischances because of human driver blunder in the course of recent months.
That might be the reason Google concocted an innovation that has quite recently been endorsed by the U.S. Licenses and Trademarks Office – something the organization calls human flypaper.
"The cement bonds the passerby to the vehicle so that the person on foot stays with the vehicle until it stops and is not tossed from the vehicle," clarifies Google in its patent application. The flypaper, additionally, "forestalls auxiliary effect between the walker and the street surface or other article."

It's entirely clear that Google knows the danger of self-driving auto crashes, and anticipates that its self-ruling autos will conceivably hit people on foot if things turn out badly. Yet, with its flypaper creation, the organization wants to relieve the perils of any sort of auto crashing into a passerby, especially its self-sufficient autos. Furthermore, with that, it plans to diminish the danger of wounds walkers may endure in such an occasion.
"The front area of the vehicle might be covered with a specific cement that sticks to a passerby, and in this manner holds the person on foot on the vehicle in the appalling occasion that the front of the vehicle comes into contact with the walker," Google proceeded. "The bond of the person on foot to the vehicle may keep the passerby from bobbing off."
Given that human flypaper in its most genuine structure can draw in flotsam and jetsam, Google has made preparations for this probability, including its patent application that the innovation will accompany an "eggshell" covering on top of the glue. This covering would break once an accident happens, which would then demonstrate the cement layer, and "security with the passerby."
Addressing the San Jose Mercury News, Stanford School Law educator Bryant Walker Smith said that the patent's handiness may rely on upon the sort of impact a person on foot is included in. Still, he was entirely satisfied that Google had considered something that could ensure walkers, beside drivers and travelers.
