With selfdriving cars, no one behind the wheel, thats about to become a reality. When driepevers should expec thesed vehicl these vehicles on the road. Plus the multimillion dollar listing inside the a good monday on wall street. Stocks jumped with gains again accelerating the last hour of trading as markets around the world continue to crawl back from a sharp tumble earlier this month. The Dow Jones Rose nearly 100 points, about 1. 6 . Youve probably seen selfdriving cars being tested around the bay area with drivers. But the possibility of this april being that those tests will no longer require a driver at all in california. So to talk more about what this means for the rest of us, Antoine Goodman joining us. First and foremost, this sounds like a scifi movie to me. What is happening with the battle with the california dmv and getting these Driverless Cars out on the roads for good . Its been sort of like most things with legislation, a slow process. They announced in october and november that they were going to move forward and finalize the wording on how they make the rules, and january is when they said this is something were going to go forward with for approval and now were seeing an april deadline for when its going to happen. And were going to have companies apply for permits to test selfdriving cars on the road without a human being in it. During these tests of Driverless Cars theres always been a human in the back seat or an enclosed space. What can people expect to see on the roadways as theyre running errands, going to work or school. What youll see on the road is not a human being in the car, but a human being has to be monitoring the car remotely. That means in a center somewhere, with, by directional communication, there will be a human being watching the car and being able to take control of the car remotely like with a stari Steering Wheel youd see on a video game. You said something pretty interesting to me during the commercial break, that you will actually trust these selfdriving cars more than you trust humans behind the wheel . Right. The thing about selfdriving cars is theyre actually too cautious. If they run into something they dont understand, they stop. They assess the situation, and that means sometimes you get stuck behind a selfdriving car thats driving a little slowly. But the things about selfdriving cars is they dont blink, they dont get distracted by incoming messages or facebook. The cars always watching the road. So you never run into a situation where someones distracted. Thats sort of the point of selfdriving technology. Were trying to get away from the point where 90 of accidents are caused by human error. I now the testing could potentially start in april for these drievleerless cashes, but wh cars, but what about the every day joe or jane . Its accelerating. Right now were at a point where they can test, and shortly well get to a point where auto makers and startups will be able to apply for business permits to use selfdriving cars. A lot of automakers are thinking 2020, 2025. Thank you for be being here. Oakland celebrated the opening of a parking garage that is the first of its kind in Northern California.
