Self-Driving Vehicles: Boston Next City To Test Autonomous Vehicles; Pittsburgh Testing Driverless Ubers

It’ll just be a matter of months before driverless cars hit Boston’s streets, city officials said Wednesday.

 “If this technology is going to yield benefits for the consumer, we want to make sure it works in the city of Boston,” said Chris Osgood, the city’s chief of streets. “We want to make sure we’re doing our due diligence and understanding what the implications are. How do we set up the right policies and take the right approach to this so it’s going to have the biggest net benefit?”
