Google debuted its new , fully functioning driverless car prototype . However , to comply with California state law , there are still removable , temporary controls for the required `` safety driver '' -- a real person who needs to be in the car and ready to take over in an emergency . It was a very impressive demonstration of the technology and it showed that you can actually drive one without any human intervention at all! While cute , the vehicle still has many serious issues to address before it can hit public roads .
