Driverless cars now driving in California
16:52
Google announced its self-driving cars are now out on the streets around of Mountain View, California but are traveling only up to 25 mph and will have drivers behind the wheel the entire time
The firm said for safety reasons the cars will have “a removable steering wheel, accelerator pedal, and brake pedal that allow them to take over driving if needed.”
But although the cars will have drivers and steering wheels in them while they’re being tested, Google said ultimately they’re intended to be steering-wheel free, giving the human passengers more time to check their email or watch a movie, or whatever else we like to do on our commutes when we don’t have to concentrate on the road.
