Uber has rolled out Self-drive cars in Arizona. The company stated that requesting a self-driving vehicle can be done through the app. Just request an uberX and the self-driving vehicle will arrive (if available).
The Arizona Department of Transportation previously issued a statement reiterating that the state has no special requirements for self-driving vehicles.
“Part of what makes Arizona an ideal place for Uber and other companies to test autonomous vehicle technology is that there are no special permits or licensing required,” it said. “In Arizona, autonomous vehicles have the same registration requirements as any other vehicle, and nothing in state law prevents testing autonomous vehicles.”
Thanks for the smooth ride, @Uber_AZ. Arizona is proud to be home to your autonomous vehicle fleet! pic.twitter.com/AFKci3zZ7R
