The future is almost here.
General Motors just unveiled a self-driving
car with no steering wheel or pedals — or
basically any other manual controls.
It's called the Cruise AV, and GM wants to
have it on the roads in 2019.
If you're wondering how to get a car with
no controls to, you know, move — GM says
fear not.
Once the doors are shut, seat belts are buckled
and "go" button is pushed, the car is supposed
to move on its own.
The company says passengers can also use tablets
to communicate with the vehicle.
GM plans to use the cars for ride-hailing.
Customers will use an app to call the car
and go from there.
The company does still need approval from
the federal government before it can deploy
them.
