Uber will have to park its self-driving cars in California for now.<\/p>\n

California’s Department of Motor Vehicles on Wednesday said it had revoked the registrations of 16 autonomous vehicles owned by the ride-hailing company.<\/p>\n

“We have stopped our self-driving pilot in California as the DMV has revoked the registrations for our self-driving cars,” an Uber spokesperson said. “We’re now looking at where we can redeploy these cars but remain 100 percent committed to California and will be redoubling our efforts to develop workable statewide rules.”<\/p>\n

The DMV said the registrations for 16 Uber cars were improperly issued because they weren’t marked as test vehicles. The department said it’s inviting Uber to “seek a permit so their vehicles can operate legally in California.”<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, Uber started offering rides<\/a> in self-driving cars in San Francisco without a permit for autonomous vehicles \u2014 defying state regulators. Uber’s self-driving Volvos, which were operated with a “safety driver” behind the wheel, have already been deployed in Pittsburgh<\/a>.<\/p>\n
