California approves limited testing of self-driving cars without wheels or backup drivers

Califonia Governor Jerry Brown on Thursday signed a bill allowing self-driving vehicles to be tested in the state without manual controls or human backup drivers, in a move that could aid Apple's own efforts in the field.

The new rules apply only to a pilot project by the Contra Costa Transportation Authority, being run at GoMentum Station — formerly the Concord Naval Weapons Station — and at a business park in San Ramon.
