One woman who took a ride in one of Google’s cars said,”It was really kind of of a space-age experience.”

Self-driving cars could make the world a better place by reducing the number of cars people need and the amount of fuel those cars use. It could communicate with other self-driving cars to avoid traffic- cars waste a lot of fuel in traffic jams.
