Google To Build Self-Driving Car: No Steering Wheel Necessary- 28 May 2014
Google's four-year experiment with self-driving cars has shown the technology's great potential. People can just sit back and relax while computers ferry them around town.
Now Google wants to take the next step by designing and building a fleet of 100 driverless cars -- albeit without steering wheels, gas peddles, brakes and mirrors. Why install standard controls if no one is going to use them?
Google announced the plans late Tuesday, showing once again its big appetite for futuristic projects. The initiative also shows just how serious the company is about driverless technology while also raising questions about whether it intends to become an auto manufacturer.
