From the "best job ever" department: Google is paying Arizona drivers 20 bucks an hour to test a self-driving car.*
According to the job listing (https://www.hireart.com/jobs/cd40b8f8/apply),*the drivers (or self-driving vehicle operators, as Google calls it) need to have a clean driving record, ** criminal history, a BS or a BA degree and the ability to type at least 40 words per minute.*
The job involves driving 6-8 hours a day in a two person team, five days a week while monitoring the car's systems with "constant focus" and filling up daily reports.*
