Yes. It's a very different permitting process. As you might expect, the bar is very high to jump from driverless testing to operating a driverless service available to the general public.

More info at the DMV's website (although it's a lot to digest): https://www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/vehicle-industry-services/auto...

What happens when the car runs into a problem that it cannot address (Damage to car, blocked by obstacle in road) Does the passenger call you, or are you monitoring the car remotely for problems?
Feel free to repost this, but here’s what happens in AZ

presumably all cars are persistently monitored 24/7 anyways.
Are there any extra conditions for the company or for riders? Like pre-vetting, or special responsibilities.
