Google has finished its work on the first complete prototype of its own self-driving car and is now ready to try it on the test track.

The company's latest prototype apparently has all the parts that a self-driving car requires to function and is said to hit the roads in 2015.

According to The Verge, the prototype that Google originally unveiled back in May was just an "early mockup" that even lacked headlights.

The makers have not made many changes in the design of the car.

However, the LIDAR system mounted on top of the vehicle to help it see the world has been cut down in size and it's shrunk from a strange-looking mount to a sleek, black cap, the report said.
