From article, (General Motors will unveil a new driverless concept car as early as Friday that doesn’t have a steering wheel or pedals, the latest salvo in the company’s efforts to deploy autonomous vehicles onto public roads.
The debut was confirmed by sources familiar with the matter and documents seen by Jalopnik.
As part of the announcement, sources said, GM and its autonomous car unit, Cruise Automation, will submit a report to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration on how it plans to safely equip cars with self-driving technology and deploy them on the road. To date, Google’s self-driving car unit Waymo is the only company to submit such a report to NHTSA.
It’s not clear if GM’s showing off a working prototype or just a concept. If the automaker tries to deploy the car for testing purposes, it’d be one of the most futuristic vehicles on the road to date. Google’s self-driving car unit Waymo launched a pilot program late last year that involves cars without a driver at the steering wheel.
GM and Cruise are currently building autonomous Chevrolet Bolts at an assembly plant in Michigan. The company has built 180 self-driving Bolts so far, and by early 2018, it expects its autonomous fleet to accumulate 1 million miles per month during test drives.)
