The nation's capital early next year joins a roster of cities across the country where self-driving cars are being tested amid the real-world conditions of everyday commuter traffic.

D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser announced Monday that Ford Motor Co. will deploy a fleet of up to 10 self-driving, or semiautonomous, vehicles in the city in February as part of the automaker's nationwide push to test driverless cars. In the city's pilot program, the high-tech autos will aim to carry passengers and make deliveries across the city by 2021, officials said.
