A reporter looks at a Google self-driving car at the Google headquarters in Mountain View, California, on Tuesday. California governor Jerry Brown signed State Senate Bill 1298 that allows driverless cars to operate on public roads for testing purposes. The bill also calls for the US department of motor vehicles to adopt regulations that govern licencing, bonding, testing and operation of the driverless vehicle before January 2015. (‘licencing’ hi spelling mistake a ni? Well, an ziek dan charin ka copy a nih).
