Google says that the 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 an unnamed company in Detroit, will be used to find out how best to make driverless vehicles work. Google will run a pilot program using the cars, 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
