Who invented the first driverless car? To find the answer, you'd probably just Google it. However, you'd have already answered the question. 

With its Pixar-esque face, small frame and cozy two-person interior, Google introduced the first ever self-driving car in late 2010. Currently, the car is performing its own driverless driving tests. Last week, Google took their new car around the Google campus, according to Daily Mail UK. 

Fueled electrically and currently limited to 25 mph, the cars will not legally be allowed to drive on public roads for at least a year. 

Google co-founder Sergey Brin believes the car to be the “stuff of science fiction.” He and his fellow designers believe that the car has the ability to “change peoples’ lives.” 

What the Google car offers that other cars lack is friendliness. The design of the car is meant to be easy and reduce the worries of the world, at least for the time inside the vehicle.

Parallel to computers and self-help books, the Google car will take you on a stress-free, step-by-step journey - all the while stopping at red lights, maintaining the correct speed level and playing your favorite tunes. (Hey Google, how about free Spotify while you’re at it?)

But how far can the friendly, WALL-E aspect of the car go? 

Because it’s the first of its kind, it’s hard to compare the design and practicality of the car with its current car competitors. 

Designer Don Norman thinks that the self-driving car should call to mind the four-legged vehicle that preceded it: the horse.

“Even when you’re in control,” he said in an interview with Wired, “the horse is still doing the low-level guidance, stepping safely to avoid holes and obstacles.”

What about the inside of the car? While some say it looks like a copy of a Smart Car from the outside, the inside greatly differs. The Google car does not have a steering wheel, accelerator pedals, brake pedals or mirrors, which gives the feeling of driving inside a large GPS device on wheels. The car simply has two buttons: 'Go' and 'Stop,' along with an extra motor in case something goes wrong.

Urmson said they purposely designed the face of the car to appear very “Googley.” 

“We definitely would like the vehicle to appear friendly. When you look at the front grill of any car, there’s a lot of thought put into that shape and what kind of emotion it shows,” said Urmson, in an interview with Re/code. “In our case we wanted to find something that’s very Googley. It’s friendly, it’s kind of cute.”

Beyond the power of cuteness, this self-driving prototype has life-changing opportunities to offer. Urmson said that one of the first beta car testers was blind: this vehicle could offer him the chance to come and go as he pleases while knowing he will be safe.

Starting this summer, Google plans to release the cars on small and private roads for people to test them and give their feedback. According to BBC News, the UK has already announced that they will legally allow these cars on public roads by the start of 2015.
