The Apple’s application to the California vehicle for testing unmanned vehicles also talked about operators. Reuters got acquainted with the document.
According to the agency, in general, the application consists of 41 pages, 10 of which are devoted to the operators training plan, which will have to manually manage the machine during the testing of an unmanned system.
It is noted that in the plan there is a separate document explaining how to train security drivers “in various conditions of automated driving”.
”[Unmanned] platform will be controlled by an electronic method (for example, a joystick),” the document says.
There is no more specific information in the plan.
In addition, the agency writes, one of the Apple letters says that the company system will be able to record all the information that preceded the accident.
Reuters clarifies that the company may not construct its own car, but will develop an unmanned platform, which can be integrated into factory cars.
Earlier, California allowed Apple to test with unmanned machines. As Business Insider wrote , this statement was the “first official confirmation” of the continuation of the company to create a drone.
