An area of high pressure will set- tle over the Mississippi Valley with bands of snow and flurries near the Great Lakes. A storm will slice southeastward over the Mississippi Valley with snow spreading from Missouri to Kentucky and Tennessee. Rain will fall farther south with locally drenching and gusty thunderstorms from central and eastern Texas to Louisiana. Showers will dampen central and southern Florida. Most areas from Minnesota and the Dakotas to Califor- nia will be dry.

For the past several years, tech companies and automakers have been test- ing self-driving cars on the open road in California. But regulators insisted that those vehicles have steer- ing wheels, foot controls and human backup drivers who could take over in an emergency. On Friday, the state De- partment of Motor Vehi- cles proposed regulations that would open the way for truly driverless cars. Under the rules, road- testing of such vehicles could begin by the end of 2017, and a limited number could become available to customers as early as 2018 — provided the federal gov- ernment gives the neces- sary permission. Currently, federal auto- mobile standards require steering wheels, though Washington has shown a desire to encourage self- driving technology. While a few other states have permitted such test- ing, this is a major step for- ward for the industry, given California's size as the most populous state, its clout as the nation's biggest car mar- ket and its longtime role as a cultural trendsetter. The proposed regulations also amount to the most detailed regulatory frame- work of any state. "California has taken a big step. This is exciting," said Bryant Walker Smith, a law professor at the Univer- sity of South Carolina who tracks government policy on self-driving cars. The rules are subject to a public hearing and a comment period and could change. Regulators hope to put them in effect by De- cember. The proposal is more than two years overdue, re- flecting complex questions of safety and highly ad- vanced technology. "We don't want to race to meet a deadline," said Ber- nard Soriano, a leader of the motor vehicle agency's self- driving program. "We want to get this right." In one important change from prior drafts, once a manufacturer declares its technology is road-ready, it can put its cars on the mar- ket. That self-certification approach mirrors how fed- eral officials regulate stan- dard cars, and represents a big victory for such major players as Waymo, Google's self-driving car project. Also under the proposed regulations, any driverless car must be remotely mon- itored and able to pull it- self over safely in an emer- gency. A Waymo spokesman had no immediate com- ment. The chief skeptic of the technology, California- based Consumer Watchdog, said the proposal does not protect the public. "The new rules are too in- dustry-friendly," Consumer Watchdog's John Simpson said in a statement. The technology is devel- oping quickly. More than a year ago, a Waymo proto- type with no steering wheel or pedals drove a blind man on city streets in Texas. Supporters say the cars may one day be far safer than those with humans at the wheel, since the ma- chinery won't drive dis- tracted, drunk or drowsy. During road-testing in California, self-driving cars with human backup drivers are believed to have caused just a few collisions.
