While Google's previous self-driving vehicles have been either a converted Toyota Prius or a Lexus SUV, their new prototype uses a new self-manufactured design that looks like a golf cart.

Unlike previous models, these cars won't have human drivers monitoring them at all times. Google said the cars can detect objects up to 200 yards away in all directions and adjust their speed, turns and braking accordingly.

Highlights include:

• No steering wheel or pedals
• Emergency stop button
• Top speed of 25 MPH (40 KPH)
• 2 seats
• Electric drive

One thing is certain about Android phones and tablets: it keeps getting cheaper to have one. HP has thrown itself into the fray with a $99 tablet boasting some mediocre specs and a great price tag:

The tablet rocks specs not that much better than HP's ill-fated Palm TouchPad. The 7-inch screen has a resolution of 1024 x 600 and the package is powered by an Allwinner Technology A31 SoC that features four Cortex A7 cores clocked at 1 GHz along with a Power VR SGX544MP2 GPU and 1GB of RAM. But it's only $99.

Get one now for cheap, so when they release Android 5 ("Lollipop") you can cash in on all the rumored new features , like fitness links, upgrades to security, audio, and video, and Project Hera , "Google's effort to unify the Chrome browser with Android and Search."
