Uber tests self-driving on San Francisco roads, avoids DMV autonomy definition

Uber has started testing self-driving functions on roads in San Francisco after a few months of testing its sensor suite and hardware on the streets of Pittsburgh.

The ride-hailing company has three Volvo XC90s, each equipped with Uber’s hardware and software. (Although Volvo has made strides in self-driving functions, Uber is using its own system.) When a passenger requests a ride, Uber lets the passenger know a car with self-driving functions will be picking them up, and the passenger can accept or decline the ride. An Uber engineer rides in the front seat at all times.

The cars are equipped with seven cameras as well as a lidar (for “Light Detection and Ranging”) sensor, according to The New York Times.
