From 14th local time on December 14, Uber started dispatching an automatic driving taxi "uberX" in San Francisco. UberX is Volvo's "XC 90"It is developed based on, it rotates to the ceiling partLIDARAnd the camera is carried. It seems that all the trunk is buried in the computer.


A reporter at The Verge said that he was in public road driving of uberX before the official start. It is a strange thing to deliver it from the application of Uber in the car, but the setting of the pizza place to be the destination is completed.


Two Uber employees are riding in the driver 's seat and the passenger' s seat. The driver does not touch what is holding the handle on the handle, you can see that the curve is automatically bent.


California State with San Francisco is a state where regulations on the most automated traveling vehicles are strict in the United States and California State defines the automatic driving car as "a car traveling without active control and monitoring by humans". Since Uber is not listed in the state permission list, uberX does not seem to be "fully automatic operation" because the driver is present. Uber says "All vehicles we have are compliant with federal and state laws", but California DMV (Automobile Authority) seeks Uber to obtain permission for autonomous driving There is that.


Uber has already started dispatching automatic driving taxis to the general public, but there are several reports that Automatic driving Uber is traveling ignoring the red light.

Uber started operating after judging that it does not fall under the California state defined "fully automatic driving car" by putting a driver in the company's automatic driving taxi, but it is safe to ignore the red light Due to the problem also, it is reported that the California State Authority ordered to stop the use of automatic driving taxis.
