According to patent documents published by the US Patent and Trademark Office, Google filed a patent on a self-driving car "a system that detects emergency vehicles that are moving in real time". The sensor detects an emergency vehicle that runs close to the vehicle by distinguishing the kind of surrounding light, so that it can distinguish the type of emergency vehicle such as whether it is a police car or an ambulance depending on the type of light. This makes it possible for self-driving cars to automatically pave for emergency vehicles.

If this system is realized, it is thought that human drivers can reduce contact accidents and the like occurred in a hurry to avoid emergency vehicles. In addition, Google is also developing various programs to realize a self-driving car, and in July 2016, "Ability to detect the bicycle that runs on the road and to empty the space of the road"Is also adopted.

According to ReadWrite reporting news of IoT equipment, self-driving cars such as Google and Uber are not yet in the practical stage, and there is not enough manual on what kind of movement should be done in various situations. These know-how are thought to be cultivated by experiences encountered with other vehicles that move irregularly in the running test of the road.
