Nevada First US State To Approve Self-Driving Cars


While Google has been testing autonomous cars for years now, no state has allowed cars to legally roam free without a driver at the wheel. That’s just changed: Nevada now allows self-driving cars on its roads.

According to PC Mag, autonomous test vehicles will display a red licence plate, as opposed to the state’s usual bluish-gray. When the time comes for consumers to have their own self-driving cars, they’ll come with green licence plates.

Policing autonomous vehicles is a contentious issue — so this is a huge leap forward for Google. [PC Mag; Image: Jurvetson]
