Google’s Plan To Eliminate Human Driving In 5 Years by hayzee545(m): 3:55pm On May 18, 2015
GOOGLE’S ADORABLE SELF-DRIVING car prototype hits the road this summer, the tech giant announced last week. Real roads, in the real world. The car has no steering wheel or pedals, so it’s up to the computer to do all the driving.
