California has passed legislation that will allow autonomous vehicles to operate in the state three years from now.
The law orders California's motor vehicles department to draft regulations for driverless cars no later than Jan. 1, 2015. The resulting rules must specify that a vehicle is permitted to operate autonomously only if a licensed driver is behind the wheel.
