Apple meets California officials to discuss self-driving car

Mark Harris, writing for The Guardian:

According to documents obtained by the Guardian, Mike Maletic, a senior legal counsel at Apple, had an hour-long meeting on 17 August with the department’s self-driving car experts Bernard Soriano, DMV deputy director, and Stephanie Dougherty, chief of strategic planning, who are co-sponsors of California’s autonomous vehicle regulation project, and Brian Soublet, the department’s deputy director and chief counsel.

And:

The department would not comment on what was discussed at the August meeting, beyond saying that “the Apple meeting was to review [the] DMV’s autonomous vehicle regulations.”

Really looking forward to watching this (still alleged) project unfold.

Here’s the bet: Autonomous cars making up the majority of traffic in at least one major city within twenty years? Any takers?
