One week after declaring that its fleet of self-driving cars did not need permits to operate on roads in California, the DMV has revoked the registration of all sixteen self-driving cars, forcing Uber to remove them from service.
Uber Technologies Inc. has removed its self-driving cars from San Francisco streets, halting the autonomous program one week after its launch as the company faced a regulatory crackdown. The California Department of Motor Vehicles said on Wednesday it revoked the registration of 16 Uber self-driving cars because they had not been properly permitted. For the last week, the agency was demanding that Uber shut down its program and comply with regulations requiring a permit to test self-driving cars on public roads.
