California DMV says Google’s autonomous car tests need a steering wheel | Ars Technica
The new law means Google's self-designed car will need to have a steering wheel and gas and brake pedals while it is still under development.

The report says California officials are working on rules for cars without a steering wheel and pedals, but for now, a human control system is mandatory.

MIT Technology Review took a closer look at the driving challenges Google's driverless cars still can't tackle. Most of them are so ubiquitous, so mundane, it's almost funny. It's also a reminder: It'll be quite some time before humanity is permanently relegated to the shotgun seat.
