LOS ANGELES: Google is building a car without a steering wheel.

Sergey Brin, co-founder of the technology titan, told a Southern California tech conference on Tuesday evening that Google will make 100 prototype cars that drive themselves and therefore do not need a wheel, brakes and gas pedals.

To date, Google has driven hundreds of thousands of miles on public roads with Lexus SUVs and Toyota Priuses outfitted with the special equipment.
