In order to run cars that don’t have a steering wheel on US roads, automakers must secure permission from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. It’s part of US auto safety rules.

It was obvious that Tesla was going to show off a futuristic looking robotaxi concept or two at its 10/10 robotaxi event at a Warner Bros. fake town in Los Angeles, and I assumed there would be no big announcement about when these robotaxi concepts would be road-ready and shuttling … [continued]
