image for Washington Governor Calls Self-Driving Car Tech 'Foolproof,' Allows Tests Without Drivers

The order gives self-driving car companies the ability to send applications to the state's Department of Licensing for self-driving car pilot program tests on public roads.

Additionally, the governor's order brings a handful of state agencies together that will work with the approved self-driving companies and craft future legislation based on the upcoming trials.

Inslee showed that has pretty much absolute trust in the tech when compared to the capabilities of human drivers, according to a statement obtained by The Seattle Times.

“One thing I know about radar, it doesn’t drive drunk, it doesn’t drive distracted,” Inslee said, according to The Seattle Times.

At least it seems that way to us when looking at 2016's autonomous car disengagement reports from the California DMV.

Which also leaves us questioning the decision to allow self-driving car testing without humans behind the wheels.

Either way, if you're in Washington state, get ready to see more self-driving cars on the road. »
