Californians may soon see driverless cars transporting passengers without human backup drivers; opening the door to a future of robot-taxis for the Golden State.

The California Department of Motor Vehicles issued rules allowing for autonomous vehicle testing without drivers earlier this year, which took effect on April 2.
