Uber’s first fleet of self-driving cars were spotted in the streets of Pittsburgh on Friday.

The company first announced the rollout in early August, along with a $300 million partnership with Volvo to develop the autonomous vehicles.

While the custom Volvo XC90 SUVs do drive themselves, humans will still reside at the wheel of the vehicle, and likely offer to charge your phone or at least hand you the AUX chord.

Bloomberg reports that the deal isn't exclusive to Volvo as Uber "plans to partner with other automakers as it races to recruit more engineers."
