But the good news for Toyota is that the company's efforts will improve as the service becomes more integrated into vehicles on the road. Toyota is now able to test self-driving vehicles on its own test track and will have the ability to provide driver assistance (including the ability to take over a car) in a self-driving mode within the first day or so.

The deal will allow Toyota to use the service for a decade and see it move from a "full-time" driverless car to a "single-driver" system, enabling it to test autonomous vehicles for the first time in the United States.

The deal also enables the company to develop a fully autonomous fleet of vehicles for sale in China, but this should not be seen as further validation for the company's self-driving plans.

In any case, Toyota's self-driving technology is still far from a fully autonomous car, and there is no guarantee that a vehicle will be able to pull its own power in the next few years. But if self-driving technology continues to advance, it could be as soon as this year.The American Civil Liberties Union of Michigan filed a request for a restraining order against a Lansing police officer in June 2016, demanding that the officer be fired and ordered to turn over his phone records. The ACLU of Michigan has filed a lawsuit against the Michigan State Police, alleging that the officer violated state law over the phone records request because of "privacy concerns."

In April, the ACLU of Michigan filed a complaint with U.S. District Judge Mary Ann P. Koval in Lansing to seek a restraining order against a Lansing police officer. It was filed in July after the department's internal affairs division received numerous calls about a complaint of a domestic violence incident involving a man.

The Michigan State Police, in a statement, stated that it has been working with the ACLU "to resolve issues as they arise."

"We urge the officer to cease any and all communications with the complainant and to turn over all records related to his conduct," the city said in the statement.

The department issued a statement confirming the ACLU's request for a restraining order.

"The department has been working hard to resolve any and all issues as they arise," the statement said, "including a number of issues affecting officers and community members."

In July, the ACLU of Michigan filed a lawsuit against the Detroit Police Department over allegations that the department violated Michigan's laws governing the use of electronic surveillance devices. The ACLU noted
