State officials have held the first meeting of a task force that will study autonomous vehicles and how agencies and local governments should respond to the emerging technology.

Some vehicles already come with some level of autonomy, whether it's braking or lane assist, but car developers are testing fully driverless vehicles in other parts of the country.

Eventually, Oklahoma may be home to cars and trucks that drive themselves.

"We know it's not tomorrow, but it's going to be within 30 years," said Transportation Secretary Mike Patterson, who leads the task force.
