Dailymail.com tries Lyft's self-driving car in Las Vegas

By now we've all heard about self-driving cars; from Tesla and Ford to newcomers such as Byton, research and development in the field has skyrocketed over the last few years. But for some, including myself, the reality of driverless cars navigating busy city streets has still remained a far-off concept. At CES this week, Lyft and Aptiv offered free rides in their Pilot autonomous BMWs, and Dailymail.com In somewhat of a surprise, the roughly 20-minute drive along the Las Vegas strip was smooth from start to finish – even considering one nerve-wracking moment when the vehicle was cut off by another car. When you first get in, it's not all that different from getting into a typical Lyft, as someone is sitting in the driver's seat.
