The Time A Naked Man Greeted Google's Driverless Car, And Other Completely True Stories

The Time A Naked Man Greeted Google's Driverless Car, And Other Completely True Stories
Many quirky encounters happened, at Google's driverless car project, at South by Southwest last week.
Spend enough time behind the wheel, and chances are you're going to see some pretty wild things - if you work for Google, at least.

One time, an onlooker was so excited to see one of the company's self-driving cars pass by that he ran out onto the street completely naked and leaped onto the vehicle.

Another time, the car had to slow down because there were as many as three other cars driving the wrong way up the street toward it.

There was the time a group of people hopped across the street in front of a Google car, interrupting its route with a real-life game of Frogger.

And then there was the mysterious case of a woman in an electric wheelchair chasing a duck in circles in the middle of the street.

These quirky encounters really happened, said Chris Urmson, the director of Google's driverless car project, at South by Southwest last week.
