DETROIT — GM is asking the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration for permission to test self-driving vehicles without steering wheels by 2019.
The carmaker has already been testing the autonomous Chevy Bolt in San Francisco and Phoenix, according to the Daily Dot.
The fourth-generation Cruise AV has no steering wheel, no pedals, no manual controls and no driver.
The self-driving vehicle will be using for ride-hailing, not personal use, the Daily Dot reported.
If granted approval, GM could deploy more test vehicles in cities across the U.S. Currently, only seven states allow testing for vehicles with no steering wheels or pedals: Michigan, North Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia, Texas, Colorado and Nevada.
