Whether you're ready for it or not, self-driving vehicles are coming. It seems as though it's coming sooner than expected. Are you excited for this technology to hit New Jersey roads?
Experts say the development of self-driving cars over the coming decade depends on an unreliable assumption by many automakers: that the humans in them will be ready to step in and take control if the car's systems fail.
The first person to die in a U.S. crash involving a car in self-driving mode was the tech-savvy 40-year-old owner of a Tesla Model S who nicknamed his car "Tessy" and praised its sophisticated "Autopilot" system.
Self-driving cars are "absolutely not" ready for widespread deployment despite a rush to put them to put them on the road, a robotics expert warned Tuesday.
California's Department of Motor Vehicles is wrestling with how to keep the public safe as an imperfect technology matures -- but not regulate so heavily that the agency stifles development of vehicles with potentially huge safety benefits.
The federal government wants to get autonomous vehicles on the road more quickly, and says it will fast-track policies and possibly even waive regulations to do it.
