The future is here — and Apple will drive you there. The technology giant is close to beginning road tests for self-driving cars, Bloomberg reports, citing a person familiar with the matter.

Bloomberg noted that a post on the California Department of Motor Vehicles' website Friday appears to show that Apple, Inc. has been granted permission to test "autonomous driving technology on public roads." The source confirmed to Bloomberg that the company will soon begin testing such software with existing cars.
