    If you’re one of those people who find talking to your Uber driver tedious then good news, you may not have to interact with an actual human being in the not too distant future.

    Uber will roll out self-driving cars in Pittsburgh before the end of August, the city part of a pilot program to explore the wider use of such tech.

    Here’s TIME:

    The company plans to test 100 Volvo XC90s outfitted to drive themselves. Still, the cars will be accompanied by two humans: an engineer who can take control of the vehicle when needed and a co-pilot who takes note.

    The news…comes as the battle to deploy self-driving vehicles gains steam. Uber has made considerable investments on that front and has been testing cars for more than a year. The company also purchased Otto, a company working on self-driving technology for trucks.

    You read right, the self-driving cars will actually have two people in control. For now.

    Bad news for those wanting to avoid human interaction, great news for those who insist on stopping at a fast-food outlet to satisfy their guilty cravings.
