First regulations for self-driving vehicles

We talked before the self driving cars than companies like ford, but mostly Google are developing. But even if the cars have already been tested in closed circuits they are far from appear in our roads. Or maybe not that far.

Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles Director Bruce Breslow says the DMV is now developing licensing procedures for companies that want to test self-driving cars in Nevada.

Gov. Brian Sandoval test-drove a self-driving Toyota Prius in July. The car being developed by Google Inc. uses radar, sensors and computers that allow the vehicle to drive itself, though human drivers can override the autopilot function.

But not everybody is happy with this decision. The regulation was heavily vetted by car manufacturers, insurance companies, law enforcement officials and others.

¿Do you believe that we are going to see soon cars that drive themselves?

Check the video of the car... 40 km/h without hands.
