Boring.

That’s the best way to sum up my second ride in a Google self-driving car, on Tuesday.

My first ride, now almost four years ago, included merging onto a freeway and navigating a sweeping flyover curve with all the dexterity of a human driver. This time our route was even more mundane, basically an uneventful tour through the city streets of a Silicon Valley community.
