Driverless taxies may become in reality as Google is reportedly developing ride-sharing app. According to The Verge, Google's chief legal officer, David Drummond, who is on Uber's board of directors, has informed them that the company is considering the thought of developing unmanned driving facility.

Driverless car technology was in development within its Google X research lab, but this process may take two to five years for becoming ready to widespread use, according to Bloomberg.

The decision of Google may ask Drummond to resign as the radio cab services itself considering the possibility of developing the technology. Since, Uber announced a tie-up with Carnegie Mellon University on Monday to develop the Uber Advanced Technologies Center in Pittsburgh aimed at designing Uber's own self-driving vehicle technology.

If Google introduces the app of driverless cars, it can enable car owners to set their vehicles to work as taxis, even if they aren't using them.

Some tech experts are saying that this kind of technology would lead the giants into robotic war as the operator won’t suffer.
