Google's self-driving cars can now honk!

Self driving cars are slowly inching closer to a reality, with a number of major companies around the world working on the technology.

One of the biggest is Google which has been testing self-driving cars in real life environments for months now. And now those cars are set to get a voice.

According to a new post, Google is teaching its fleet to honk in specific situations. Initially a sound was only heard inside the car when it sensed something was amiss, giving the on board engineers a chance to survey the land and figure out if the honk of justified.
