California will allow unmanned vehicles to drive on busy streets

Hi, Habr!

It would seem that this is great news for those who want to quickly get into the disposal of a self-propelled vehicle that does not require a driver. Tests drones Google, Mercedes-Benz and Audi switched to a new stage of all three companies received from the authorities of the California special permission. But is that something has changed?





Total issued 29 licenses - that is, 29 cars without drivers will ride through the busy streets of the solar state. 25 of them - a Toyota Lexus SUVs from Google, and licenses for the pair took in the Mercedes and Audi.



It is said that automakers are already testing drones in this state for several years. Yes, without a permit. But suddenly, the state government decided to make a law that would find the regulation of such vehicles on public roads. Google even had to put a temporary steering in cars under the same law.



So what does it change? Just in a particular state to create another precedent. Incidentally, the requirements for registration of a special license for unmanned vehicles already have, for example, in Michigan, Nevada and Florida.

Interestingly, when the unmanned vehicles will reach Russia, as they will be fined on the traffic police post?
