“Good Morning America” Gets a Ride in the Google Driverless Car
Posted in: car, Google, Today's ChiliOn Saturday, when I filed a story about Google’s driverless car, I emailed Google for more information, including pictures and perhaps even a ride. I received a response on Monday, well after Google gave The New York Times the backstory.
On Monday, I asked Google for more pictures, which they graciously provided. I also asked for a ridealong. I figured after covering technology for about fifteen years, I might be able to ask them an insightful question or two. Perhaps even test it a bit. Newp. I was told it wasn’t going to happen.
Fair enough – I can understand that liability might play a role. But no – they handed that one off to Becky Worley of Good Morning America. Sure, Worley has some cred as a security reporter for TechTV. But it won’t stop me from grumbling.
