Video of Self Driving Car Prototypes

Above is a short video of one of the self-driving car prototypes driving by me on Stewart in Sunnyvale.

Below is another video of another prototype driving in the opposite direction.  They appear to be making circuits along Stewart to DeGuigne to Arques and back along Wolfe Road to Stewart, a single block.  There are several Apple offices along the route and also a Lyft car certification station.
