I asked this before: If they need to log many hours of driving and various conditions - why cant they hook the brain of the car up to playing videogames like GTAV and EU truck simulator etc... and have it play thousands and thousands of hours of the game without killing any pedestrians or getting any tickets

Something tells me you didn't read the article:

> At the end of the shift, the entire log is sent off to an independent triage team, which runs simulations to see what would have happened had the car continued autonomously. In fact, even though Google’s cars have autonomously driven more than 1.3 million miles—routinely logging 10,000 to 15,000 more every week — they have been tested many times more in software, where it’s possible to model 3 million miles of driving in a single day.

Thanks - I hadnt completely finished the article. :)
