There's also another person in the passenger's seat to take and analyze data.
The California Department of Motor Vehicles immediately took issue with Uber's test.
Because the company did not have an autonomous vehicle testing permit.
20 other companies, including Google, GM, and Tesla, received permits from the DMV for their self-driving cars.
Uber claimed that it did not need a permit because its cars still required a person to operate them.
The DMV threatened legal action if Uber did not stop its self-driving vehicles.
