| Who's driving Google? |
A driver less cars that cruise, twist and turn without the need
for a driver -- on its roads? (total recall?) Only in Nevada.
Where else be brave enough want to bet?

On Monday May 7th, Nevada became the first to approve a license
for "autonomous vehicles".
The license goes to Google, the Silicon Valley technology big brother
known more for its search engine and e-mail service. Nonetheless IT
has been known to dive into other big ideas such as space elevators
to Internet-enabled glasses.
The new plate is red and features the infinity symbol and the letters
AU, for autonomous vehicle. All such cars on the road are "test"
vehicles for now, though the state signaled it intends to be "at the
forefront of autonomous vehicle development."
"I felt using the infinity symbol was the best way to represent the
'car of the future,' " state DMV Director Bruce Breslow said.
"When there comes a time that vehicle manufactures market
autonomous vehicles to the public, that infinity symbol will appear
on a green license plate."
Google was the first company to apply to test its self-driving system
in Nevada, the state said, while indicating that "other auto
manufacturers have indicated their desire to test and develop"
such technology in the state.
