"California has been working toward this milestone for several years, and we will continue to keep the public's safety in mind as this technology evolves," said DMV Director Jean Shiomoto, in a statement.
The limits of the permit are well defined. Waymo is only allowed to test its fleet of approximately three dozen vehicles without human safety drivers inside a predetermined geographical area in and around Mountain View, California, in Santa Clara County. Waymo will be testing during day and night hours, at speeds up to 65 miles per hour and in inclement weather conditions, as outlined in a recent blog post from Waymo.
