Uber Puts Self-Driving Cars on San Francisco Streets—California Says 'No.'

Uber Rules Uber is making up its own laws now, test driving its autonomous cars on San Francisco roads even though the California Department of Transportation says the company requires a test permit. But Uber has basically decided to ignore the rule since last week, offering riders lifts in the cars despite not having permission to do so. California's State Attorney General has threatened to sue. But Uber, reportedly, says the law doesn't apply to them because they keep a driver behind the wheel. And they don't appear willing to compromise their point. Uber eventually wants to replace all its drivers with the autonomous technology. (Via BBC)
