General Motors has suffered a setback in plans to launch a driverless ride-sharing car fleet with no human controls over worries about a lack of safety features. The National Association of Mutual Insurance Companies said driverless vehicles without human controls should not be permitted on public roads until data proves the cars are safe. The carmaker had requested US regulators to waive some safety standards to allow it to launch a 2,500-strong fleet of modified Chevrolet Bolt cars in a San Francisco ride-sharing operation. However, companies including insurers and dealers said GM should provide more data and safety provisions. A new report from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety
