The replies to this post are so depressing. Self-driving cars have the potential to save tens of thousands of lives. Minnesota should encourage this as much as possible, including by amending state law if necessary!
Waymo, the driverless ride-hailing company, is bringing its fleet of autonomous electric vehicles to Minneapolis.
Ridesharing without a driver? It's coming to Minneapolis
Testing will begin Thursday morning. No date has been set to start offering rides to passengers.

The Unitary Artificial Executive
Previous expansions of presidential power were still constrained by human limitations. Artificial intelligence eliminates those constraints.
