    Hello, future! Nevada has become the first state to legalize self-driving cars, which are apparently pretty easy to get hold of in Nevada. Granted, the cars must have two humans inside, and be insured for around $1 million, but let’s focus on the part where people are allowed to have self-driving cars now.

    The announcement came from the Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles, who stated that:

     Nevada is the first state to embrace what is surely the future of automobiles.

    It’s seeming pretty clear that the new legislation comes after heavy pressuring from Google, who have wanted their self-driving cars on the roads for a while now, and moreover can afford to insure their fleet at a million dollars per car without really flinching – but hey, if there are any eccentric billionaires in the area who hate driving but think using a chauffeur is pretentious, they’ll probably benefit too.

    Large-scale testing of the new legislation begins today.
