How San Diego County Could Be Testing Ground for Autonomous Cars

Miles of express, carpool and bus lanes could double as testing grounds for autonomous cars, SANDAG said.

Self-driving cars. How will they fit into our everyday lives?

Believe it or not San Diego County is ahead of the game and preparing for the future right now. A fact that may surprise you.

Sunday, on "Politically Speaking", we discussed how cities and public agencies will handle the onslaught.

Voice of San Diego transportation writer Maya Srikrishnan found out that according to SANDAG 30 miles of express, carpool and bus lanes could double as testing grounds for driverless cars. But she says it could shake up the status quo.

Chula Vista has long considered itself a “smart city” and recently applied for a federal grant to fund its technology driven proposals.

The city’s Chief Sustainability Officer Dennis Gakunga says we need to look at the big picture and how cities can do more with less.

It’s an interesting discussion of how San Diego is planning for the future by using the emerging technology.
