Pentagon says it will beat Tesla and Uber in self driving vehicle race

The Pentagon claims it will beat carmakers to produce widely used self driving vehicles. 'We're going to have self-driving vehicles in theater for the Army before we'll have self-driving cars on the streets,' Michael Griffin, the undersecretary of defense for research and engineering, Griffin told the House Armed Services Committee members on April 18. 'But the core technologies will be the same.' Officals told a Capitol Hill hearing'We're going to have self-driving vehicles in theater for the Army before we'll have self-driving cars on the streets,'. It comes amid a race between Waymo, Uber and Tesla and others to get self driving cars on roads around the world. However, the Pentagon is targetting the battlefield for its self driving vehicles. Griffin claims 52 percent of casualties in combat zones can been attributed to military personnel delivering food, fuel and other logistics.
