In celebration of its feat of safely completing 200,000 miles of computer-directed driving, Internet search biggie Google recently-released three-minute video clip which clearly demonstrated the potential of the company's driverless vehicles.

The poignant video clip showed a blind man - Steve Mahan, who barely has 5 percent vision - taking a ride to a Taco Bell and the dry cleaners in California, in Google's robotic Toyota Prius equipped with a wide range of high-tech gadgets, like lasers, radar, and cameras, to ensure that the car could steer itself safely.

While seating a blind man at the steering wheel of a vehicle would normally be grounds for an arrest, the test demonstrated by Google was duly monitored by the police department which has confirmed that the video showing Mahan behind the self-driving car's wheel was legal.

Moreover, despite the fact that California currently does not have any specific guidelines laid out for driverless cars, Google has revealed that one of its representatives was seated in the passenger seat of the car `driven' by Mahan, so that the vehicle could be stopped in case any emergency arose.

In the video clip released by Google, Mahan said that his trip in Google's self-driving car was "some of the best driving I've ever done"; and added that robotic cars will change his life by giving him "the independence and the flexibility to go to the places I both want to go and need to go, when I need to do those things"!
