This map is then combined with a high definition world map with inch accuracy which allows the car to drive itself (Lindsay). Even as the UK is marking these major transportation milestones, the US was the first country to allow the testing of driverless cars, although only four states allowed it: California, Florida, Michigan and Nevada (Lindsay).
