This strange sight will make you do a double-take when you realize that you just witnessed a car driving out on the streets with no driver in it! It\u2019s not fiction, it\u2019s just one of Google\u2019s <a title=\"self-driving cars\" href=\"http:\/\/www.huffingtonpost.com\/2015\/05\/15\/google-self-driving_n_7291218.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">self-driving cars<\/a> and yes they are real. The future is now because Google has just started testing their newest projects out on the public roads of Mountain View, California. These strange looking, driverless cars will not go faster than 25 mph and for legal and safety purposes, there will be a driver present during each test drive. Chris Urmson, the director of Google\u2019s self-driving car project said \u201cWe\u2019re looking forward to learning how the community perceives and interacts with the vehicles.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Google is not the only one dabbling in this new <a title=\"auto\" href=\"https:\/\/thriftyautoship.com\/aboutus\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">auto<\/a> technology. Tesla Motors and Mercedes-Benz are also working on their own unique prototypes as well. This means that soon there will be all types of the self-driving cars out on the roads and highways throughout the United States. Although the future will be here before we know it, there are still many obstacles to overcome for these to become available to the public. There are several insurance issues as well as other technological issues surrounding the use of this technological breakthrough by the public.<\/p>\n<p>Once they do become available to the public, people will be buying these cars like crazy. If you are one of those who will be purchasing such a car, make sure that you use an <a title=\"affordable car shipping\" href=\"https:\/\/thriftyautoship.com\/options\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">affordable car shipping<\/a> company to ship your new self-driving car. One of the most reputable and quality companies we\u2019ve found is Thrifty Auto Shipping. They will be there for you when these new cars become available!\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you happen to be driving around in the Mountain View, California area, you
