Google Adds Lexus RX450h To Autonomous Vehicle Fleet

Google looks to be stepping their whip game up with the addition of a lexus RX450h. Joining the fleet of Prii is the luxury crossover, which Wired Magazine's Damon Lavrinc discovered thanks to a tipster. According to Wired, Google claims that

"In the course of our work, we experiment with testing our algorithms on various vehicles to help us improve our technology,"

Which is a fancy way of saying "we got a Lexus for R&D reasons". Lavrinc notes that the new car was spotted just days after California passed a bill mandating regulations for autonomous vehicle testing. If someone could explain to us why the Lexus has no license plates, that would be a start.
