Google computers have been officially recognized as the drivers of Google's self driving cars. This recognition by the US National Highway Transportation Safety Administration is an important step to getting Google's self-driving vehicles on the road in the future. The car is equipped with technology that can detect people, other cars, traffic lights, and has the ability to adjust the steering and acceleration according to the surrounding cars. These cars are being tested in California and so far have been very successful.
