Google’s Self-Driving car – built from the ground up – no steering wheel

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, Google Glass is silly.  It has applications, but for widespread use, it’s just not there yet.  However, those crazy cashed up folks at Google may just have found the next big thing and they’ve purpose built it.  The self-driving car.
