These companies are testing self-driving cars in California

As we are working towards a The future which many people expect to be will be driverlessmany companies are currently in a technological race to build a fully autonomous vehicle. Artificial intelligence has advanced so rapidly in recent years that driverless cars are no longer science fiction. In fact, autonomous vehicles have travelled millions of miles on public roads in the United States in recent years, with remarkably few, albeit tragic accidents were recorded.
California, a hotspot for research and development in the field of autonomous driving, recently published a list showing how many autonomous vehicles are currently registered for test drives in the Sunshine State. Surprisingly, Apple, an industry outsider, is second on that list with 55 vehicles registered for testing on California's public roads. The Cupertino-based company has not conducted any autonomous test drives in the past year, according to the DMV database of mandatory Reports on the decommissioning of autonomous vehicles for 2017.
Companies testing self-driving cars in California are required to report annually how many miles their vehicles have driven in autonomous mode and how often the backup driver had to take control. Waymo, formerly known as Google's self-driving car project, is the only known company that has applied to test drive on public roads without a backup driver.
