Jorgenson was      an early beta-tester for theucomma.ai,      an ultimately unsuccessful company that had hoped to make      autonomous driving affordable and easy to applyto any      car. While fortune did not side with ucomma.ai,it seems      to have smiled upon Jorgenson, who was able to utilize what      he knew to let his car       drive itself on the freeway.    <\/p>\n<p>      But is this up to code? Is Jorgenson required to adhere to      the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration      regulationson self-driving cars? After all, it was      because of all the NHTSA requirements that comma.ai decided      to call it quits.    <\/p>\n<p>      Well, luckily for Jorgenson, these regulations only apply to      companies that distribute and sell self-driving cars.      Consumers, on the other hand, have farmore liberty      forupgrading their vehicles to enter the       new era of self-driving vehicles. The only stipulation is      that insurance will notcover anything related to      self-driving, thereby holding consumersculpable for any      potential damage. Drive or simply ride safely!    <\/p>\n<p><!-- Auto Generated --><\/p>\n<p>See the original post here:<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/futurism.com\/for-700-a-student-built-a-honda-civic-can-drive-itself\/\" title=\"A Student Spent $700 to Make His Car Drive Itself - Futurism\">A Student Spent $700 to Make His Car Drive Itself - Futurism<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> In Brief The next generation of transportationis here: autonomous cars.
