MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. — Google’s pod-like self-driving car will make its debut on public roads this summer.
The car — introduced as a rough prototype last year — looks like a Smart car with a shiny black hat to hide its sensors. It can drive, brake and recognize road hazards without human intervention.
The car has limits. It can’t go more than 25 miles per hour, and can only drive in areas that have been thoroughly mapped. It doesn’t need a steering wheel or gas pedal, but will likely have them at first to meet current California regulations.
