GM's 2019 self-driving cars come with no steering wheels

Challenging the notion that autonomous vehicles or self-driving cars need to have a steering wheel for when a driver would want to take over, GM's robobar slated for release next year has no steering wheel and no pedals. The modified all-electric Chevy Bolt models are expected to be used as a fleet of taxis in the US sometime next year.

“We’ve put together four generations of autonomous vehicles over the course of 18 months,” says Dan Ammann, GM’s president. “You can safely assume that the fourth generation won’t be the last.”

Self-driving functionality is already available on some flagship Cadillac models.
