Google to Test Bubble-Shaped Self-Driving Cars
The world is one step closer to the day when people can, in good
conscience, drive to work while sipping coffee, texting with a friend
and working on a laptop computer.
On Friday, Google announced that sometime this summer several prototype
versions of its self-driving cars are set to hit the streets of Mountain
View, Calif., the search giant's hometown. The move is still just
another round of testing but it is a significant step toward a pilot
program in which regular consumers could ride in self-driving cars.
Google has long been testing its self-driving car technology with a
fleet of Lexus sport utility vehicles that have driven about a million
miles on public roads, and that continue to put in 10,000 miles each
week.
