The transport ministry can now
authorise road tests of driverless cars in Italy, according to a
decree published in the Official Gazette Wednesday night.
The decree, contained in the 2018 budget law, OKs so-called
smart roads and road tests of driverless vehicles, a note from
the ministry said.
Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) last year joined an alliance
led by BMW to produce driverless cars.
Waymo, the self-driving unit of Google parent Alphabet, in
January reached a deal with FCA to dramatically expand its fleet
of autonomous vehicles.
