Uber is working towards replacing its human drivers in Washington, D.C., and they are starting the process by collecting data from self-driving cars in the city.

The testing will begin Friday and will include a driver who will maintain control of the self-driving vehicle but will map out roads in the car along with a co-rider. The company did not say when they expect self-driving cars to replace human drivers.
