Google’s Driverless Cars, Now Legal In US State Of Nevada


Google has been lobbying Nevada legislators to make driverless cars legal on state roads for sometime, well this week Assembly Bill No 511 was passed making Google’s driverless cars now legal in the US State of Nevada.

The new Nevada law defines permits cars which relies on artificial intelligence, sensors and GPS to drive without active the attention of a human operator. You can see a video of the new Google driverless car put through its paces after the jump.

Google is not the only company developing driverless and automatic driving controls for cars, Volkswagen has also been developing a new temporary autopilot system for cars called TAP.

TAP is a semi automatic driving mode that will drive your car at the speed you have selected and also keep you at a safe distance from the vehicle in front of you.
