Nevada grants Audi third license to operate autonomous vehicles

Nevada grants Audi third license to operate autonomous vehicles

A mere eight months after Nevada first licensed Google to test autonomous vehicles on its public roads, the state has granted Audi a permit as well. Including automotive supplier Continental, licensed just last month, brings the total of licensed companies to three (Audi will be recognized as being the first automotive original equipment manufacturer to obtain the special license). Audi is no stranger to autonomous technology, as it was the automaker's TT research car, developed with the Volkswagen Group ERL and Stanford University, which autonomously completed the 12.42-mile Pikes Peak climb in just 27 minutes in late 2010.
