A rare peek inside of Google's self-driving pod car

But there's no shortage of geekiness. The photo released on reporter Matt McFarland's Twitter account shows a laptop computer sitting on a seat and wires running everywhere. The floor appears to be hard black rubber.

By now, the outside the car is well known. It's an innocent-looking rolling pod, perhaps the most unsexy, unsleek car on the road. Like a computer, it beauty lies in the technology.
