Google has turned Toyotas and Lexus SUVs into self-driving vehicles that have logged around 700k autonomous miles, but its latest car takes the driverless project to the next level.

The company built the bug-like contraption from the ground up, and it has no steering wheel, gas pedal, or—perhaps most worryingly for some—brakes (though there is an “e-stop button,” the New York Times notes.

But the car’s also got improved sensors that allow it to “see” to a distance of two football fields, and Google says it’s essentially free from blind spots. Recode dubs it “a gondola with wheels,” while the Verge sees it as some kind of Fiat-Playmobil hybrid.

This futuristic two-seater was built-from-the-ground-up as a 100% self-driving car, taking away all the things that allow you to actually drive the thing yourself like a steering wheel and pedals.

Three prototypes have been built so far and the cars are equipped with lasers to see geometry, cameras to see when colour matters, and radars for distance. “The cars are be able to see about two football fields in every direction.

The car does not have an accelerator or brake pedal. While there’s a windshield, there are no wipers to wipe away the rain.

The car can go faster than 25mph and Google plans to build hundreds of them with first prototypes reportedly out on the road already this summer. This is a huge leap of faith in the world of computers and algorithms.

The two-seater “is about changing the world for people who are not well-served by transportation today,” says Google co-founder Sergey Brin.

“We took a look from the ground up of what a self-driving car would look like,” said CEO Brin at the CODE Conference yesterday.

Brin also added the company has not had any crashes so far, but the company has also been testing it in pretty safe conditions and they are excited about how we could change transportation today.

As for riding in it, John Markoff describes the experience in the New York Times as “a cross between riding in my office elevator … and memories of riding in the Disneyland Tomorrowland people mover as a child.”
