Apple Secures Permit to Test Autonomous Vehicles in California

Apple secured a permit for autonomous-vehicle testing in California. The permit, awarded by California’s Department of Motor Vehicles, allows Apple to test self-driving cars on public roads in the largest state, adding it to a list of other companies with permits that includes Alphabet’s Google and Tesla.

An Apple spokesman declined to comment on the permit and referred to a December statement that said the company is investing machine learning and autonomous systems.

The Apple permit covers three 2015 Lexus sport-utility vehicles, which would be retrofitted with hardware and software to be used in autonomous mode. It also covers six human operators who must sit behind the wheel to monitor the driving and take over when needed, according to the DMV.
