Apple has permits to test 55 self-driving cars

Could the iCar be hitting the road soon? After CEO Tim Cook admitted last summer that Apple was indeed working on self-driving car technology, the company largely has remained mum on details. But with state permits to operate 55 autonomous cars in California, it seems the iPhone maker could be ready to try out some of its autonomous car tech on Golden State roads. Apple, which did not immediately respond to a request for comment, has long deflected questions about a rumoured self-driving car program.
