Self-Driving Car Test: Steve Mahan

We announced our self-driving car project in 2010 to make driving safer, more enjoyable, and more efficient. Having safely completed over 200,000 miles of computer-led driving, we wanted to share one of our favorite moments. Here's Steve, who joined us for a special drive on a carefully programmed route to experience being behind the wheel in a whole new way. We organized this test as a technical experiment, but we think it's also a promising look at what autonomous technology may one day deliver if rigorous technology and safety standards can be met.

Great, but I think taking meals and drinks on driver's sit is not correct even in this case. 

[Ilya Nemirovsky]

They already have Dodges that stop before pedestrians that cross where they're not supposed, let alone a Toyota Prius partly manufactured by Google.

[Jazzhiel Perez]

nothing more to say

[xxcalifa13xx]

when the car stopped at the stop sign to make a turn you can hear them say it has lasers to make sure that there aren't any incoming cars so i would assume it works on people.

[Ryan Rife]
