Achieve the ambitious goal of achieving self-driving cars is not easy for any of the companies involved in the project. Developing the technology is not enough, because they become crucial field tests conducted to evaluate concretely how the cars behave in many different driving conditions, what are the potential risks and how users begin to interact with these innovative vehicles. Google, actively engaged in the field of passenger cars without drivers, has long since given way to an intense testing that recently chose to expand with the inclusion of external test driver.
A recent job listing confirms the new recruitment campaign enabled by Google in Arizona (a Chander, specifically) with which the company tries "specialists in vehicle safety" to be included in the design of the cars to autonomous driving. It is a new professional figure, as pointed out by Brian Torcellini, in charge of the testing program, in an interview with The Republic: "The test driver role is so new that there is not a particular type of person we are looking for. we are hiring people with the most diverse backgrounds: teacher of English, to orbital welding specialists. "
Although there is no specific professional figure, Google requires certain requirements to the candidates aspiring must possess a university degree, excellent written communication skills in the minutes, to be able to type at least 40 words per minute, have a clean criminal record and have not committed breaches of the highway code. The cars in the Google autonomous driving test driver will be called to lead them 6 to 8 hours a day, monitoring software systems, provide a written report and feedback to the engineers. All this, of course, not to disclose information relevant to the project. $ 20 per hour is the compensation offered by Google to aspiring testers.
The choice of Chander town in Arizona is not accidental, as pointed out by a Google spokesman: in the same area operate fact major companies operating in the hi-tech industry, from Intel. An area, therefore, particularly well prepared to accommodate future technologies. As said earlier, part of the program is to assess the way in which the citizens welcome the cars to autonomous driving that begin to circulate in the urban centers as part of the test programs. "It 'a new technology, we do not know how people will react or interact with it. There is no previous about it."
