National Public RadioThe state of Nevada finalized new rules that will make it possible for robotic self-driving cars to receive their own special driving permits—sort of a driver’s licenses for robots.



Google’s fleet of robotic cars has driven more than 200,000 miles over highways and city streets in California and Nevada.
