>>> Google gets Nevada driving licence for self-drive car
>>> Google has been experimenting with driverless Toyota Prius cars in the 
>>> US
>>> Driverless cars will soon be a reality on the roads of Nevada after the
>>> state approved America's first self-driven vehicle licence.
>>> The first to hit the highway will be a Toyota Prius modified by search
>>> firm
>>> Google, which is leading the way in driverless car technology.
>>> Its first drive included a spin down Las Vegas's famous strip.
>>> Other car companies are also seeking self-driven car licences in Nevada.
>>> Accident
>>> The car uses video cameras mounted on the roof, radar sensors and a 
>>> laser
>>> range finder to "see" other traffic.
>>> Engineers at Google have previously tested the car on the streets of
>>> California, including crossing San Francisco's Golden Gate bridge.
>>> For those tests, the car remained manned at all times by a trained 
>>> driver
>>> ready to take control if the software failed.
>>> According to software engineer Sebastian Thrun, the car has covered
>>> 140,000
>>> miles with no accidents, other than a bump at traffic lights from a car
>>> behind.
>>> Human error
>>> Bruce Breslow, director of Nevada's Department of Motor Vehicles, says 
>>> he
>>> believes driverless vehicles are the "cars of the future".
>>> Nevada changed its laws to allow self-driven cars in March. The 
>>> long-term
>>> plan is to license members of the public to drive such cars.
>>> Google's car has been issued with a red licence plate to make it
>>> recognisable. The plate features an infinity sign next to the number 
>>> 001.
>>> Other states, including California, are planning similar changes.
>>> "The vast majority of vehicle accidents are due to human error," said
>>> California state Senator Alex Padilla, when he introduced the
>>> legislation.
>>> "Through the use of computers, sensors and other systems, an autonomous
>>> vehicle is capable of analysing the driving environment more quickly and
>>> operating the vehicle more safely."
