Driverless cars and trucks demoed in Sweden; New law allows driverless cars in Nevada
… The EU’s HAVEit (Highly Automated Vehicles for Intelligent Transport) consortium, celebrated the final event of their multi-year research project by displaying driverless cars and trucks.
… VW and Volvo demoed driverless cars and trucks and compared their systems to Google’s driverless car (which last fall drove 140,000 driverless miles on California highways).
… In support of all these developments, Nevada passed a new law enabling driverless cars in that state.
