"any vehicle equipped with technology that has the capability of operating or driving the vehicle without the active physical control or monitoring of a natural person..." [1]

- fabianhjr 10y ago> without the active physical control As in not turning the steering wheel or pushing the gas or break pedals? Because that sounds like what Uber's Self Driving car does. (Even on the promotional videos, the "drivers"/testers are not turning the steering wheel.

Ubers cars may not require [human] active physical control, but it does require monitoring of a human and so this doesn't apply to Ubers cars.
