Summary
In a blog post, Cruise CEO Dan Ammann said truly driverless cars would operate in the city before the end of the year.Most of the more than 60 companies with DMV permits to test autonomous vehicles in California must keep at least one safety driver inside, who sits behind the wheel and monitors the technology. But none is testing its driverless cars in areas as hectic as San Francisco.The permit is a sign that companies like Cruise “are transitioning out of the development phase of the technology,” says Kyle Vogt, the company’s CTO.So as not to freak out the neighbors, Cruise says its driverless-car rollout will be gradual and will begin in just one neighborhood; it declined to specify which one.
