Apple expands self-driving car fleet, reduces number of test drivers

Apple has reportedly increased the number of self-driving cars it is testing on California roads, but has halved the number of drivers licensed to operate them. An Apple report with the DMV from February indicated that the company's autonomous vehicle technology as a whole seemingly improved. The new data, first seen by MacReports also indicates that the number of Apple autonomous test drivers has decreased to 76. Apple is widely rumored to be developing its own self-driving car technology for use in a future autonomous vehicle project. Back in January, Apple was said to be in talks with Hyundai and Kia about manufacturing the "Apple Car."
