Google’s Self-Driving Cars Upgraded, Taking To California Streets: Video

Goggle has improved its autonomous cars to the point where the company says they’re safe to venture onto city streets.

The internet giant says its fleet of autonomous vehicles - mainly sporting Toyota and Lexus badges - have now clocked-up thousands of kilometres while driving virtually unaided around the streets of Mountain View, California.

In a relatively short time, Google engineers have ‘taught’ the car to recognise temporary roadwork signage, unpredictable movements from cyclists, the complexities of railway crossings and more.
