Uber Technologies Inc. has agreed to comply with California licensing rules about testing autonomous vehicles on public roads.
Uber Technologies Inc. has agreed to comply with California licensing rules about testing autonomous vehicles on public roads.
Last year Uber contended that didn’t need a special California permit because its vehicles have a driver behind the wheel even when in autonomous mode. It began unlicensed testing of a 16-car fleet in San Francisco in December.
But the state revoked the registrations for Uber’s test fleet a week later. Uber has been testing the fleet in Arizona, which doesn’t require special permits. The company didn’t say when it plans to resume tests in California.
