Audi will begin testing out its self-driving car in Albany on Tuesday. The German carmaker is the first in the state to be approved to perform an autonomous vehicle demonstration.

The technology in the car Audi will be demonstrating, according to Gov. Andrew Cuomo's office, is considered to be a Level 3 in autonomous vehicle operations by the Society of Automotive Engineers, an association of more than 128,000 members. That means it can perform hands-free driving at posted highway speeds.

The car will still require a person to take over if required. Two engineers will be inside the car during the demonstration monitoring it.
