Cruise self-guided cars in Austin

I had not noticed the news
https://www.statesman.com/story/busines … 743913007/
that driver-less cars were around Austin.

I started noticing them in late March but only going west on Enfield toward Mopac (turning north before getting that far).  At first I thought they were street mapping camera cars, but I re-thought that when I was seeing them seemingly on the same route and usually two or more at a time--so I assumed they were in a testing phase.
Saw one today moving north on Guadalupe toward 38-1/2. So I suppose they are to be contended with and not just testing.
