Sorry, Google: California's self-driving car bill would prioritize unknown rival

The bill, AB1592, would permit autonomous vehicles 'not equipped with a steering wheel, a brake pedal, an accelerator, or an operator inside the vehicle'

A California lawmaker has introduced a bill that would legalise autonomous vehicles without human drivers for the first time in the US.

Assemblywoman Susan Bonilla wants to change California's rules so that GoMentum Station, a testing ground for autonomous vehicles located in her district near San Francisco, can test completely driverless vehicles on public roads.
