California regulators loosen restrictions on fully autonomous vehicles

In the last two days of September, California transportation authorities made some noteworthy changes to their self-driving vehicle policy. First, on September 29, a new bill was signed into law that allows fully autonomous to be tested in a pilot project in two specific locations. The next day, California lawmakers also released revised draft regulations that would allow for cars with no driver on a broader scale. The technical leader of Ford's autonomous car project speaks about what it's like to be driven by a driver-less car, and how big a deal self-driving vehicles will really be. California has been a leader in autonomous vehicle technology, both with technical development and in regards to government.
