Nissan's self-driving car 'like being chauffeured by your grandmother'

Motoring journalists have had their first ride in Nissan's high-tech self-driving car, saying it is similar to being chauffeured by a very cautious person - maybe your grandmother.

Requiring neither hands on the steering wheel nor a foot on the accelerator or brakes, the Nissan making its way on Japanese public roads is instead packed with radars, lasers, cameras and computer chips.
