Self-Driving Car Test: Steve Mahan

Published on Mar 28, 2012

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.

Google 'Taxi' Would Give Free Rides for Shoppers

Published on Feb 5, 2014

In the back and forth war between online and brick-and-mortar shopping, Google may be turning the tides with their new patent. With it, online shoppers could click a link that would send a taxi, even one of Google's self-driving cars, to take the shopper to a business where they could buy the item, perhaps even at a discount. Would this save brick-and-mortar businesses from the stronghold of online shopping? Kim Horcher and Tim Frisch discuss the patent's implications.
