Yes, they exist — at least in prototype! Below are two videos that demonstrate how these exciting cars will work. Thanks to friend of EngAGE and former guest on Experience Talks, Ronni Bennett, for the post on her TimeGoesBy blog that featured the videos. (E-mail subscribers: Remember to click on the title of this blog post to go to the blog and see the videos.)
The first video features Ronni trying out the self-parking feature (1:30).
This video features a visually-impaired man enjoying a drive (3:02). The narration is designed for the visually-impaired, too.:
Ronni’s comment: “Google’s self driving car is making remarkable progress and my only complaint is that in discussions about it, no one involved in development seems yet to understand how much this will mean to elders who must turn in their keys.”
