Regulators in California have given the go ahead for self-driving taxis to charge riders for their services.<\/p>\n

The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) has approved two programs: the Drivered Autonomous Vehicle Deployment Program and the Driverless Autonomous Vehicle Deployment Program, The Verge reports<\/a>.<\/p>\n

According to the report, these programs now permit self-driving taxi operators to \u201coffer passenger service, shared rides, and accept monetary compensation for rides in autonomous vehicles.\u201d<\/p>\n

As part of the programs, companies that launch self-driving taxi services will need to submit quarterly reports to the CPUC to disclose anonymized information about how they\u2019re operating. This would include details on journeys, accessibility, engagement with disadvantaged communities, and fuel type.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s not get ahead of ourselves, though. We\u2019re not going to see swathes of self-driving taxis start billing their passengers overnight.<\/p>\n

Taxi operators that want to commercialize their business will have to apply for relevant permits and those are expected to take months to process and approve.<\/p>\n
