A car with a driver? It is a common thing. What about a less-driver car?

The Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) in California recently gave an approval for Autonomous Vehicle Testing within its jurisdiction. The Nvidia Less-Driver Car was allowed to test its AI cars on public roads and highways of The Golden State.

According to DMV's official statement on its website, the authority gives a permission for companies manufacturing self-driving cars to test their vehicles on the road. The manufacturer granted a green light including Nvidia Corporation, Volkswagen Group of America, Mercedes-Benz, Drive.ai, Inc, Baidu USA LLC, Google, Delphi motors.

However, the companies must comply with certain regulations, which includes they must provide DMV with a report of the accident involving an autonomous vehicle within 10 days. Moreover, they also must submit an annual copy of Disengaging Report to DMV.

Nvidia has been providing AI processing power attached to some of the popular makers of autonomous cars. The company is experienced in producing self-driving cars as it already has BB8,which is seen practicing in parking lots and private roads at the moment.

In September, Nvidia announced a partnership with a China-based web maker Baidu to create a platform for semi-autonomous cars, as reported by TheVerge. Baidu wanted to use the technology to establish its own taxi fleet, however, both also have an idea to offer the technology to other manufacturers to add their self-driving capabilities to their vehicles.

California has seen lots of testing, but other states are likely to follow. Michigan Gov.Rick Snyder on Friday signed four bills, making it the first state that allows comprehensive self-driving regulation.

MDOT Intelligent Transportation Systems program manager Matt Smith announced that non-conventional vehicle manufacturers like Google, Uber, and Apple will be granted a permission to do a test and station their vehicles on public roads if they either partner with a motor vehicle maker to develop and manufacture those cars or get their NHTSA-approved vehicle or prototype.

Will autonomous vehicles be available in the country's auto market in the future? Probably. Why not?
