The cars that should be wearing L-Plates.

General Motors has been testing a fleet of over 120 autonomous vehicles across three US cities with positive results as they learn to drive by themselves.

The American brand says that it has undertaken more than 1 million miles of successful testing, and says there is now reason Australia shouldn't have Level 4 autonomous vehicles on the raod by 2030.

A Chevrolet Bolt electric car with Level 4 driverless technology equipped has been picking-up and dropping-off GM employees in San Francisco, and the complex road system has required the car’s artificial intelligence learning to understand traffic nuisances.

GM claims the Bolts have reportedly been driving for up to 45 minutes through San Francisco traffic without any driver input and in a video shown to the media, the car is seen picking up passengers and using its deep learning artificial intelligence to safely negotiate unpredictable obstacles such as a rubbish truck parked on the side of an alley.

Speaking to media at a conference in Detroit, GM president, Dan Ammann, says the company is leading the way in autonomous vehicle testing: “On autonomous vehicles we’ve made some really, really significant progress. “
