During my 30 minute tour of Mountain View, Google’s car never needed a hand. Granted, the Silicon Valley suburb is less complex than the City of Bridges, but the autonomous Lexus drives like an experienced human. At a four-way stop, it waited to see if an approaching cyclist would roll through the intersection (he did). When it spotted a pedestrian crossing some 30 yards ahead, it braked. When a red light turned green, it waited a full second before hitting the gas to ensure sure the way was clear.
