Google introduced new self-driven car: no driver and no steering wheel.
Google has revealed a prototype of its latest driverless car -- and this one doesn't even have a steering wheel.
The car will only have a stop and go button. No steering wheel. No pedals.
Unlike Google's previous
self-driving vehicles, which have been based on conventional cars
adapted to navigate around without a driver, this model has been
designed from scratch.
"They won't have a
steering wheel, accelerator pedal, or brake pedal... because they don't
need them," Google said in a statement.
The car can carry two passengers and has a maximum speed of 25 miles per hour.
Google says the car's most important feature is its safety.
"They have sensors that
remove blind spots, and they can detect objects out to a distance of
more than two football fields in all directions, which is especially
helpful on busy streets with lots of intersections," the company said.
With its front designed
to look like a friendly smiley face, the Google autonomous car is not
just efficient and futuristic, but also cute to look at.
Google said it planned to build around 100 prototypes, which it will start testing in a few months.
The company started
developing its self-driving cars in 2005, and is testing previous models
across the U.S. They are expected to be available to buy by 2020.

GeoResonance claim to have locate Malaysia airlines flight 370 wreckage
The Malaysian government confirmed Tuesday that officials investigating
the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 were looking into an
Australian company's claim to have located aircraft wreckage on the sea
floor in the northern Bay of Bengal -- thousands of miles from the
search area scanned meticulously for weeks to the south.
Australian land and sea survey company GeoResonance said in a statement sent Tuesday to CBS News that it had discovered materials "believe to be the wreckage of a commercial airliner" about 100 miles south of Bangladesh in the Bay of Bengal using proprietary technology which scans vast areas for specific metals or minerals.
The company's technology is often used to help clients find mineral deposits for mining, but GeoResonance also has participated in the hunt for old warships or aircraft on the ocean floor.
"During the search for MH370, GeoResonance searched for chemical elements that make up a Boeing 777: aluminum, titanium, copper, steel alloys, jet fuel residue, and several other substances. The aim was to find a location where all those elements were present," said the company in the written statement.

Sea water might replace fuel
A MAJOR breakthrough is imminent in the energy sector as there are
indications that some United States (U.S.) Navy scientists have
successfully developed a way to convert seawater into jet fuel, calling
it a potentially-revolutionary advancement.
