Reporter hi, reggie. This is the warehouse at 4th and harrison where they store the selfdriving cars. These fusions will be rolling out on the streets today with a twist. They will be manually driven. The selfdriving option will not be used. They will be using them to map the city, a step many see as an indication that uber does plan to one day use the selfdriving cars again. So, you will see the cars with all that equipment on the roof of the car starting today, but we want to let you know that they will have a driver. Uber launched selfdriving volvos last month but had to stop using them when city and state officials said uber needed a state permit.

The dmv is okay with these fusions hitting the streets today, because they will be used for mapping the city and will have a driver. So dont be alarmed when you see them on the streets today.
