- California has lifted its ban on heavy autonomous vehicles, and the first self-driving trucks have already hit the road.
- Two companies have received permits from the California DMV to test their autonomous vehicle technology on public state roads.
- For now, the rules allow public testing with a safety driver behind the steering wheel.
After plenty of driverless taxis have made their way onto its streets, California has officially opened the door to another category of self-driving vehicles, and the first companies are wasting no time in taking advantage of the new rules.
