Google's self-driving cars will be on public roads this summer! So far, the only roads they've seen have been Google's test track, driving as sensor-packed vehicles that have two seats and a large "stop" button, but no steering wheel, accelerator or breaks. The cars that'll hit Mountain View, California's public roads will have a steering wheel, and removable accelerator and brake pedals with a capped speed of 25 mph. There will also be a human on-board *just in case* anything goes wrong. Oh yeah, this cool car can change shape AND drive sideways. Although it is years from going mainstream, you can still check out some fun videos of the car here and here!
