Google has announced it will build a fleet of 100 new experimental electric-powered vehicles that can operate without a driver, steering wheel, brake or accelerator pedal, the New York Times reported. br br The new car is a small two-seat vehicle in which the passengers have only two controls: a start button and a separate red "e-stop" button for emergency stops.br br The vehicle's electronic sensors can see about 600 feet in all directions and guide the car on the road while a screen inside the car displays the car's route, the Washington Post reported. br br The front of the vehicle, made from a foam-like material, is built to reduce damage in case the computer fails and the car hits a biker, pedestrian or other obstacle.br br Intended for driving in urban and suburban settings, the car's top speed will be 25 mph, with a range of about 100 miles.br br According to the New York Times, the new Google car should be road-ready by early next year, although its price has not yet been disclosed.
