No Driver Required: CA To Allow Completely Driverless Cars - TruckersReport.com
Interesting article, but further reading seems to suggest even in California with the lobbying of Hi-tech companies in Silicon Valley, there are still a lot of restrictions to the use of totally autonomous vehicles and the regulations are still in the consultancy process and if they are agreed the cars won’t actually take to the road until the middle of next year. It does seem to still be very much aimed at testing although they are allowing members of the public to ride in the vehicles for the first time. Might be an interesting if slightly unnerving experience, I expect we’ll see plenty of news articles in the near future where journalists get a ride in the vehicles.
