10 months ago,
Ben Tseitlin was driving along on the 280 highway between San Francisco and Palo Alto when he noticed something weird. There was a Toyota Prius next to him with a weird spolier-like thing on the roof. And on top of that was some sort of spinning contraption. It was weird enough that Tseitlin decided to take a video of it and posted it to
his Facebook page, guessing it was sort of test wind-powered Prius. Little did Ben know at the time, it was actually something much more. What Tseitlin captured, of course, was the
Google self-driving car. The secret project, which Google revealed for the first time today, is a
combination of different technologies developed by Google that will allow a car to drive itself -- yes, even on the highway. Google has disclosed that they've been testing these cars "
recently", but they've clearly been�testing�them for longer than that, as Tseitlin's video proves. The fact that these specially-equipped Priuses (and one Audi TT) have racked up over 140,000 miles (1,000 of while have been completely human-free) on the road, suggests a longer cycle of testing as well.
