Google has a new privacy-related headache to deal with: its own self-driving car.

In a blog post, the company explains that it plans to start testing its own self-driving car in the US next year, using Google's own fleet of self-driving cars, the New York Times reports.

The move comes as the company faces a lawsuit from a former employee who says Google improperly obtained her personal information and used it to build its own self-driving car.

The company says it will "continue to cooperate" with regulators in the US and Europe as they figure out how to regulate the self-driving car industry, per the Times.

Google says it plans to start testing its own self-driving car in conjunction with the University of Michigan's fleet of self-driving cars, which are currently in use in the UK and Germany.

The company says it plans to use the self-driving car to help it "meet the ever-growing demand for faster, smarter and more personalized delivery of goods and services," per the Times.

The company also says it plans to start testing its own self-driving car in the UK next year.
