Google says that the principal aim of the project is to improve safety and that, because the car is constructed with impact-absorbing foam at the front and a plastic windscreen, “it should be far safer than any other car for pedestrians”. The cars, which have been built specially by a company (as yet unnamed) in Detroit, will be used to investigate further how best to make driverless vehicles work. Google will now run a program to test the cars further, which are not yet for sale.
What will Google do now?
Test-pilot the cars Begin selling the cars to a limited audience Further improve safety by adding more foam Add more comfort features to the cars
