California
has granted permission to Samsung to test their self-driving cars on their
public roads. The permit means its driver-less vehicles will be
able to travel on the same routes as cars driven by humans.
Samsung is just one of a growing roster of
technology companies testing or investing in self-driving car technology. many
established car manufacturers are pushing on with in-car tech that will
steadily move control of a vehicle away from human drivers, such as advanced
cruise control, self-parking and autopilot functions.
Samsung has taken several different steps recently
to bolster its self-driving car technology division. One of the biggest steps
was its $8bn acquisition late last year of the vehicle audio firm Harman.
The South Korean firm also has a significant stake
in car maker Renault and is believed to be helping it develop its own
self-driving controls.
