It's insane that they need permits for 8 cars that have humans driving them in 2025, when they're already fully automated in SF.

Clearly not.

The permit gets them into the process for eventually deploying without safety drivers. That includes safety plans, emergency responder plans and training, and periodic reporting.

They could just drive cars around like Tesla, but that wouldn't put them on a path to a fully autonomous service.
