Self-driving taxis could become a reality. Google is reportedly considering designing its own self-driving car, instead of continuing to modify existing vehicles as it's done up to this point, reports the recently departed Wall Street Journal writer Amir Efrati. Google's efforts to get its self-driving vehicle technology built into major automakers' cars have reportedly failed to bring about a partnership, and the company is now said to be interested in making a car of its own. Google is reportedly now holding talks with contract manufacturers to build vehicles to its own specifications and designs, though it's unclear if Google will follow through with the plans.
