Blind man drives to Taco Bell in Google’s self-driving car

"Look, Ma, no hands," said Steve Mahan, who is legally blind, as he rode around in one of Google's self-driving vehicles. "No hands, no feet. This is some of the best driving I've ever done." Google announced their self-driving car project in 2010 to make driving safer, more enjoyable, and more efficient. They recently felt it was mature enough to show off, after several years of testing and completing over 200,000 miles of computer-led driving. A three minute video which documents the technical experiment was placed on YouTube where it went viral and has already received over 500,000 views. It's not every day you see a blind man in the driver's seat of a moving car, so check out the clip below to preview Google's technology that could change Steve's life. "Yes, this test was legal," a Google representative told PCMag.com in a statement. "It was performed on a carefully designed course, and we filmed in partnership with the local police department. We also placed one of our project experts in the passenger seat who could stop the vehicle if it became necessary." Don't be surprised if you start to see self-driving cars in the coming years. Nevada has already approved rules for self-driving cars and more states will follow.
