Google Says It’s Testing Vehicles That Can Drive Themselves

Google Inc., owner of the world’s most popular search engine, said it’s testing vehicles that drive themselves to help improve road safety and address environmental concerns.

The self-driving cars have traveled more than 140,000 miles (225,308 kilometers) in the experiments, according to a posting on Google’s blog today. The vehicles navigate by maps and use cameras, radar sensors and a laser range finder to monitor traffic.
