　　Google driverless cars not equipped with throttle and steering wheel, however, driverless cars are still in the testing phase, Google has to follow the automotive regulatory requirements to install the steering wheel and accelerator. Paul Frank iPad Air 2 Case

　　In accordance with United States vehicle regulations, Google driverless car in the test phase, must be equipped with a steering wheel or lever, to car drivers must have "real control", United States require testing phase Google driverless cars must install steering wheel, brake and other "entities control devices" or road vehicles is prohibited.

　　In July, Google in mountain view art and music colleges officially presented their driverless cars, when Google shows the driverless car is not equipped with a throttle and the steering wheel, so that the car interior is spacious.

　　In addition to installing the throttle and the steering wheel in addition to Google now also recognizes the wiper will also be omitted.

　　Google self-driving car project director ChrisUrmson said: "people do not need steering, throttle or brakes in the car, because we can handle a variety of software and sensors. "

　　Cars equipped with computers to handle the car's sensors, lasers, and the data from the camera, smart car and turn around and effectively avoid obstacles and other cars on the road.

　　Google's maximum speed is now 40km/h, driving 80 miles (129km) will need to be recharged. Google said speed of driverless cars will further improve in the future, driving range will be expanded.

　　Google has been that driverless cars safer than driving, can help reduce the occurrence of safety accidents.

　　"The unmanned vehicle's ultimate goal is to eliminate human errors in the driving process, and this is the main reason every year nearly 1.2 million people die on the road. "Google co-founder Sergey Brin said.

　　Although, we sometimes see little news of the accident in the Google driverless cars, but United States California motor vehicle authority (DMV:Department of Motor Vehicles) in June, according to a published report, when the accident occurred, most of the Google test car is in automatic mode, and accidents caused by the drivers of other vehicles. In all incidents, no serious collisions. Both drivers who sit behind the wheel, and other passengers on the bus, was not hurt.

　　However, last month, Google's self-driving car project suffered a traffic accident resulting in personal injury, were the main reasons behind the rear-end. Google revealed that Google employees are headquarters in mountain view, testing an unmanned vehicle, proceed to the crossroads and saw pedestrians through the brake to decelerate, but behind by behind another car.
