GM asks California to let it whiff the steering wheel out the window.
The automaker’s AV division, Cruise, submitted an application to the California DMV for permission to test its steering wheel-less autonomous people mover on public streets, according to a recorded request by the Wall Street Journal. The automaker says it will only test its Origin vehicle in a confined area in San Francisco during limited hours. If approved, it would be the first no-steering-wheel-having vehicle built for human passengers allowed on public roads in the state.
