Self-driving cars have been approved to start carrying passengers
Authorities in the US state of California have approved the expansion of unmanned taxi services to the city of San Francisco, allowing them to pick up passengers.
Now the companies Waymo and Cruise that manufacture such cars have been given the opportunity to start taking passengers and cars in the city.
Self-driving cars were first used in San Francisco in early 2014, with a person sitting inside to monitor the safety of the drivers.
Critics of the system say the cars are dangerous and cause congestion on major and minor roads.
Proponents of the plan say the vehicles will help people with special needs and eliminate discrimination against passengers.
