Behind the story of the Google Maps self-driving cars in the US!

These Google Maps self-driving cars have been spotted all over the United States lately in 2015. Sights of Google Maps self-driving cars have been seen in many cities and towns. Google Maps self-driving cars have been sighted in cities such as San Francisco, Los Angeles, Cupertino, Mountain View, New York City, Omaha, Austin, and Round Rock. These Google Maps self-driving cars started out being tested in Mountain View, California.

Google Maps technology has been secretly approved for public testing by city or state lawmakers. However the laws are still “fuzzy” on self-driving cars around the United States. Only six states have passed laws through legislation legalizing autonomous vehicles on public roads. States such as Virginia, Michigan, California, Nevada, Texas, and Florida legalizing self-driving autonomous vehicles on public roads. Still, lawmakers from most states have not passed legislation addressing or concerning the operation of autonomous vehicles on the roads. Google did plan the outcomes beforehand to test self-driving vehicles on roadways before using their Google Maps cars. However, there are somehow flaws in the automobile technology. The cars have been involved in 11 accidents as reported by AP News.
