California will let driverless cars operate by April

Truly autonomous cars will soon hit the streets in California. State regulators approved a resolution on Monday that allows driverless cars to be tested for the first time without a person behind a steering wheel. The move comes as self-driving car technology is being rapidly tested and deployed by companies like Tesla and Waymo in California and other states. Until now, driverless cars could only be tested on public roads in the state if a person could take the wheel in an emergency. Google's new self-driving prototype car is introduced at the Google campus in Mountain View, Calif.
