U.S. technology giant Google made a step forward in its push for self-driving cars by unveiling a prototype without any manual controls. Google said someday its vehicles will be better drivers than many humans who drive today’s cars.
Google's self-driving cars are not a rare sight in western states like California and Nevada, whose legislators are more open to the idea of vehicles with only passive human control.
So far, Google has been converting standard, mass-produced cars, with regular steering wheels and pedals, where a person in the driver’s seat could take over at any time.
