Google is expanding efforts to make autonomous cars at a time startups such as Uber, as well as established companies like General Motors Co. are investing in the technology.
An autonomous vehicle being tested by Google hit a bus earlier this month, the first time the company said its self-driving technology is partly to blame for an accident.
Google Inc.s artificial-intelligence system will be interpreted as a driver by federal regulators, a step toward compliance that would help the tech giants self-driving cars hit U.S. roads.
Google Inc. plans to make its self-driving cars unit, which will offer rides for hire, a stand-alone business under the Alphabet Inc. corporate umbrella next year.
