Google broadens its self-driving car tests in Austin - Washington Post

Google is expanding its self-driving car tests in Austin, and will begin testing its prototype in the city in the next few weeks. Earlier this summer Google brought a couple of self-driving Lexus RX 450h SUVs to Austin. Google’s fleet of self-driving cars consists mostly of the Lexus SUVs, which are retrofitted with the equipment needed for autonomous vehicles. Google’s prototype vehicle was built from the ground up with autonomous driving in mind. Related: How fixed-gear bikes can confuse Google’s self-driving cars. Look inside Google’s self-driving car.
