Google has partnered with Toyota to develop specially designed self-driving Prius vehicles. These Priuses have sensors attached to their roofs that allow the cars to drive autonomously using artificial intelligence software to mimic human driving decisions. Seven of these driverless cars have been tested, driving over 140,000 miles with little human control. For now, the cars are only accessible to Google and Toyota employees as they are not yet available for commercial sale.
