Apple apparently now has 55 vehicles and 83 drivers reported to test its autonomous vehicles on the road, or at least according to the California Department of Motor Vehicles.
The company still has yet to apply for a separate driverless testing permit, which would allow the company to test autonomous vehicles without a person in the car. The California DMV has began issuing driverless permits in April of this year.
Apple’s self-driving car project is another step closer to completion.
The company has been granted a permit that enables it to test autonomous vehicles on public roads in the state of California, according to the California DMV website.
Apple was added to the list of permit holders that are allowed to participate in the Autonomous Vehicle Tester Program in California on Friday, joining companies like Google, Tesla, BMW, Honda, Ford, Nissan, and more.
