Fast-forward some years and Google has covered countless miles of testing without a single incident. It was time for the self-driving car to evolve, so Google introduced the cutest cars you have ever seen in your life. Often called “pod cars”, these vehicles offered completely autonomous experience, with no steering wheel or pedals for human control.
In addition, it was the first time Google manufactured a full-operating car. Past iterations were simply other commercially available vehicles with self-driving adaptations installed.
Is taking away manual controls a good move? Many worries surround these driverless cars. Some worry they could be used as bombs, but most believe the systems could fail and cause accidents. While statistics prove machines can drive better than humans, the California government is taking baby steps with this novelty technology.
California has created new laws on autonomous cars, stating they are only allows in public roads if the “driver” can take full control of the vehicle at any given time, shall anything go wrong.
