Google launches self-driving bicycles in the Netherlands

Take note from Google, the best April Fools' Day pranks from brands are ones that make fun of itself.

In an obvious spoof of its self-driving cars, Google Netherlands launched a parody video on Friday highlighting its new product: self-driving bicycles.

Although the clip is simultaneously poking fun at America's car culture, self-driving innovation and the Netherland's bike culture, it's not unconceivable and could easily be the norm one day.
