Uber expanded its tests of self-driving vehicles to San Francisco on Wednesday, allowing the public to ride in autonomous Volvos. Test drivers will be present in the SUVs in case a human needs to intervene. Tests will be limited to downtown San Francisco in about two dozen Volvos. But Uber is moving forward without the blessing of the California DMV. State law requires companies to receive DMV approval before testing self-driving vehicles on public roads.
Uber has opted to not apply for a permit to test autonomous vehicles. It does not believe the state's rules apply to its program.
