It also said that it will limit the speed of the prototypes to 25 mph (40 kph) to reduce the possibility of severe injury in an accident.
The model comprises everything that is required for fully autonomous driving and also the necessary parts so that engineers can take over driving if need be.
It has an autonomous driving system comprising a computer and sensors to typical car parts like brakes pedals, lights, removable accelerator pedals and steering wheels, unlike the rudimentary version it released in May last year.
That model was a tiny two-seater, which did not have typical features of a car such as a steering wheel, headlights or brakes and was to be completely operated by the vehicle's computer.
Along with this Google also announced its plans to launch a website that will help keep informing the public about forthcoming test drives, including regular updates on progress and incidents.
Tech giants are trying to make a footprint in the
automotive industry because they predict a giant
transportation revolution that will change how people operate cars.
