Some of the companies really pushing driverless cars can be found in California, including Google. Google is one of the biggest supporters of driverless cars and has a fleet of vehicles that have racked up over 300,000 accident-free miles while driving themselves. The state of Nevada already allows driverless cars to operate on its roadways.
California didn’t want to fall behind and lose its high-tech edge and supporters in the state have been pushing to get driverless vehicles approved for use on public roadways within California. The California state legislature has just approved a bill that paves the way for driverless cars to be allowed to cruise the highways around the Golden State. The bill was authored by State Senator Alex Padilla.
