The company currently has 45 autonomous test vehicles registered with the state’s Department of Motor Vehicles, which is up from 27 in late January. That’s more than companies like Waymo and Uber, and second only to General Motors (which performs tests with Cruise, its self-driving division). >The news comes two days after one of Uber’s self-driving test vehicles struck and killed a pedestrian in Tempe, Arizona while in autonomous mode.
