States Elbowing to Lead the Way

I'm still getting back to this topic, but it seems states are popping up like crazy to join the driverless bandwagon. Currently, there are driverless vehicles either on the roads or soon to be in five states: California (Mountain View), Florida (Tampa), Pennsylvania (Pittsburgh), Nevada, and North Carolina (Fort Bragg).

Florida's governor is excited about driverless technology and he does not want to be left behind. Florida is getting in on autonomous features for driving on its roads.

Tampa will house the first driverless vehicle program for the public. Its Museum of Science and Industry will allow visitors to take a driverless ride starting this Saturday. 

South Carolina's city of Greenville wants to join in with the participation of Bob Jones University's engineering students.

Virginia's Tech Transportation Institute envisions cars with autonomous features on busy roads near Washington, DC in Northern Virginia. 

Nevada's governor is gung ho to be in the forefront of driverless vehicle adoption. There is already one driverless truck in the state.
