Japan To Let Autonomous Cars Roam Around Its Streets Before 2020 Olympics Carscoops

#artificialintelligence

Japan will allow dozens of autonomous vehicles to freely roam around streets near competition areas prior to the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. Bloomberg reports that the local government is working alongside car manufacturers such as Toyota and Nissan to roll out self-driving cars on its streets for a week before the games commence next July. Japan is reportedly keen to show of its autonomous vehicle prowess on the world stage. Certain details about the program remain under wraps, but it is reported that up to 100 self-driving cars will be offering rides around the Olympics venues. Once the Games finish, on-road testing of autonomous cars will continue throughout Japan until 2022, as the country wants to introduce self-driving cars to its streets by 2025.
