Googles new self-driving car: Electric, no steering wheel, and incredibly cute
2014-05-28 14:46:05| Extremetech
You are looking at Google's very own, built-from-scratch-in-Detroit self-driving car. The battery-powered electric vehicle has as a stop-go button, but no steering wheel or pedals. The plan is to build around 200 of the mostly-plastic cars over the next year, with road testing probably restricted to California for the next year or two. Compared to the fairly aggressive stance of other notable EVs, like the Tesla Model S or Toyota Prius, Google's new self-driving car is incredibly cutesy, closely resembling a Little Tikes plastic car -- there's even the same damn smiley face on the front.
