Google To Unleash Robot Cars On World This Summer
• popsci.comFor years, the car of the future has been stuck going in circles.

But there's only so much that can be learned in a testing zone, even for an autonomous car.

For their city driving, Google is capping the cars' speed at a neighborhood-friendly 25 mph.
