While most of us can only dream about one day getting the chance to sit behind the wheel of one of Google's revolutionary self-driving cars, one lucky California man recently did just that.
Google this week posted a YouTube video (below) showing Morgan Hill, Calif. resident Steve Mahan, who is legally blind, being taken on a ride in its self-driving Toyota Prius. Google released the video to celebrate that it has safely completed 200,000 miles of computer-lead driving.
