The D.C. Council will consider a bill that would allow self-driving cars on the streets of the District, according to the Associated Press. Three states — Nevada, California and Florida — have already authorized driverless cars on their streets.
Google is developing a fleet of these "autonomous vehicles," and the company expects them to be available commercially within a decade. The D.C. bill was introduced by D.C. Council member Mary Cheh, who took a ride in one of google's vehicles earlier this year.
Representatives from several companies, including Volvo, are among those schedulded to testify at today's hearing on the driverless cars.
The new rules create a long-awaited regulatory framework for what has become a popular and industry made up of over 150 food trucks.
