    Nevada Issues A Drivers License To A Driverless Car

    Almost a year after the state of Nevada approved legislation to allow tests of self-driving vehicles on public roads, the state has issued its first license for a self-driving vehicle.

    The vehicle in question is Google's autonomous Toyota Prius, which has currently logged 140,000 miles and one accident. The accident was caused when a car driven by a person bumped into the back of Google's autonomous car. Google hopes with these tests to dramatically reduce or eliminate these types of incidents.

    The Prius will wear a red license plate, with an infinity sign on it next to the number 001.

    While I hold a grain of salt without knowing more details, I am pretty impressed with 140k miles with no accidents that it caused. There are a hundred other questions that would have to be answered in a positive manner before I would deem it worthy of application, but it's some impressive first steps. I would be ok with automated options on highways, but do want to keep the option to choose to drive myself.

      Problem is, the people that listen to dis-informative news are too stupid to know what damage Trump has done.  I bet anybody that listens to that video has no idea who those guys laughing at Trump are.  I only recognize Macron.  But I easily understand the dynamics.  The ignorant phoques that have no idea what that video is about also think that its a 'fake' news video.  Everything those people believe in is false. The irony being those people think that their point of view is the only true and righteous point of view.   Its disgusting how these fools have been fooled...

      Hyundai News:2026 IONIQ 5 EV Lineup has Major Price Reduction

      By G. David Felt · Posted

      What makes this so great is that the reduction is more than the IRA Rebate and way better than the idiot Tesla 11% increase in cost with an auto $6,500 Tesla rebate for purchases or leases. Tesla is stupid compared to Hyundai. At least Ford and GM have honored the $7,500 rebates still but kept prices the same. I suspect we will see them drop prices to compete with Hyundai. Be interesting to see how Kia and Genesis responds as well as the European companies and the few Japanese options.
