Apple Now Has More Self-Driving Car Permits Than Tesla, Uber, and Waymo

The iPhone maker received its first permit to test self-driving cars on California roads in April 2017. By January, the company had 27 permits, and now has permits to drive 45 self-driving cars in California, Financial Times is reporting. Apple is now second behind General Motors’ Cruise company, which has 110 self-driving car permits in California.

Financial Times obtained the permit information from the California Department of Motor Vehicles.
