Google's driverless car
Nevada law exempts it from the ban on texting while driving
Sebastian Thrun helped build Google's driverless car, powered by a very personal quest to save lives and reduce traffic accidents. Jawdropping video shows the DARPA Challenge-winning car motoring through busy city traffic with no one behind the wheel, and dramatic test drive footage from TED2011 demonstrates how fast the thing can really go.
You might have heard about a five car fender bender the google bot allegedly got into, but reports are that a human was driving it at the time. Errare humanum est.
