Google’s self-driving cars hit the road in Austin, Texas

Road trip: Google's self-driving cars have hit the streets of Austin, Texas.

Google is taking its self-driving cars outside of Silicon Valley for the first time, reports The Verge. The tiny vehicles are now being tested in Austin, Texas. 

While Texas does not currently have legislation on autonomous vehicles – unlike Nevada, Florida, Michigan and California – Google worked with Austin's local government to test-drive the Lexuses this summer. A new round of testing is set to begin in the next few weeks.
