The latest company to land a license to test autonomous cars on public roads is Kia, in the state of Nevada.

Several news outlets report that Kia and Hyundai are working together to test partially and fully autonomous cars in real-world driving situations, and together have invested $2 billion to develop the technology and hire new engineers by 2018, according to SlashGear.

Kia has declared it wants to start selling partially autonomous cars to the public by 2020, and fully autonomous cars by 2030.

Digital Trends reports that some of Kia’s planned features for its future cars include vehicle-to-vehicle communication that will allow cars to inform each other of their location in real-time, and Traffic Jam Assist, which will automate driving at low speeds in traffic jams on roads such as highways.

Kia will reportedly test electric Kia Soul cars on public roads in Nevada.
