    Driverless cars could be coming to I-95 if Maryland transportation officials have their way.

    The Maryland Department of Transportation announced this week that it has asked the U.S. Department of Transportation to use the I-95 corridor to test autonomous vehicles.

    Federal officials are looking for several "proving grounds" around the country for self-driving cars. Maryland officials have suggested using I-95 between the University of Maryland to the south and Aberdeen Proving Ground to the north.
