Uber defies official demands to take its self-driving cars off the road in San Francisco.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Uber has been told its self-driving cars are illegal – but it is refusing to take them off San Francisco’s roads.<\/p>\n

The company started testing the vehicles this week, but the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) has said the firm must have a test permit.<\/p>\n

Uber said it did not need one as they have a safety driver at the wheel, and is going to ignore the demand.<\/p>\n

California’s attorney general – the state’s most senior government lawyer – said Uber must cease the driving immediately or face further action.<\/p>\n

A spokeswoman for the attorney general’s office would not be drawn on what the specific action could be, but the next step would likely be a court order compelling Uber to carry out the demand.<\/p>\n

‘Illegal’<\/h2>\n

Other companies testing autonomous technology in California, such as Google, have applied for and obtained the permit which costs $150 (\u00a3120) for 10 vehicles.<\/p>\n

Additional vehicles can be added at a rate of $50 for each additional 10 vehicles.<\/p>\n

“It is illegal for the company to operate its self-driving vehicles on public roads until it receives an autonomous vehicle testing permit,” said Brian Soublet from the California DMV in a letter to Uber this week.<\/p>\n

In a conference call with media on Friday, Uber’s vice-president of Advanced Technologies Anthony Levandowski said Uber had “respect” for officials, but that the regulations were irrelevant to its cars.<\/p>\n
