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.

Can you get a DUI in one of those?
And it's so damn attractive.A real chick magnet.
Mandatory for all residents of Delaware !!!
No steering wheel, no brakes? Because it "won't need them"? Ever hear of a circuit failure? A component failure? There is no such thing as a perfectly operating machine, especially one that relies on a multitude of electronic devices.
Go ahead. Get in.
Dang. Am I the only one who will only drive a manual transmission?

It would STILL be a LOT better than a LOT of drivers around here. That is IF they can manage to get in the thing in the first place.
