Uber in trouble again, this time they’ve violated California’s self drive car law.

Uber began testing ‘autonomous’ car service in San Francisco without getting the required state permit.  Uber believes they can avoid the permit because their self drive cars still have a human behind the wheel, just in case, which is an apparent loophole in California’s autonomous vehicle law.   State regulators don’t buy the excuse and are prepping to take legal action.

Uber’s Anthony Levandowski also admitted that their self driving Volvos aren’t truly self driving because “We’re just not capable of doing that yet.”
