The self-driving car is getting better. Google have now released this new video where a blind man is in the driver’s seat. This isn’t really Street View but we thought it was sort of related and cool enough to add anyway.
The car is a Toyota Prius and it’s driving in Morgan Hill, California.
Video description by Google:
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.
