MOUNTAIN VIEW, CALIFORNIA (Web Desk) – The latest models of Google’s self-driving cars are now cruising the streets near the Internet company’s Silicon Valley headquarters in California.
The project aims to transform the way people get around shifts into its next phase, reported The Hindu.
This marks the first time that the pod-like, two-seat vehicles have been allowed on public roads since Google unveiled the next generation of its self-driving fleet more than a year ago.
Google announced last month that it would begin testing the curious-looking cars last month, but hadn’t specified the timing. The vehicles are driving up to 25 miles per hour on the roads around its office.
A human will also ride in the cars on public roads to take control in emergencies, just as has been the case with the self-driving Lexus vehicles during the past six years.
