There's been a lot of talk about Google's self-driving Toyota<\/a> Prius, and whether or not it would be a viable option for the road. After the search engine giants recently posted a video of the vehicle driving a blind man to Taco Bell, it seems like it's becoming more of a reality that these cars could be more common.<\/p>\n

The man behind the wheel in the video was Steve Mahan, ABC News reports. Although he was sitting in the driver's seat, he certainly was not controlling the car. Mahan, who is 95 percent blind, was safely brought to his destination, and the car's designers feel his trip is validation that their design, which uses complicated artificial intelligence, is working. There is still a lot of work to be done, they admit, but they are taking steps in the right direction.<\/p>\n

"There’s much left to design and test, but we have now safely completed more than 200,000 miles of computer-led driving, gathering great experiences and an overwhelming number of enthusiastic supporters," a post by Google said.<\/p>\n

Designers claim the self-driving car, which can sense traffic conditions and mimic human action, is safer than placing a person behind the wheel. However, some people are not very convinced. Nevada is the only state to have passed a bill allowing the self-driving cars on the road, but other similar pieces of legislation are being put forward in California, Florida, Hawaii and Oklahoma, according to ABC.<\/p>\n

It will certainly be a while until self-driving cars are ruling the roads, but until that time you can still find plenty of reliable and exciting cars at New Jersey State Auto<\/a> Auction. With a wide variety of makes and models, there is something for everyone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
