You need a license to drive a car. But does a robot?
For now, yes.
Come September, the California Department of Motor
Vehicles will begin granting licenses to select driverless cars and their
human co-pilots, which will make it a bit less legally iffy as to whether or
not they’re actually allowed to be on a public road.
The good news: The license will only cost $150 a pop, and
that covers 10 vehicles and up to 20 test drivers.
The bad (but probably actually good) news: You probably
can’t get one, so don’t go trying to make your own Googlecar just yet.
The terms of the license are (as you might hope, in these
early days) pretty strict.
