AI Summary
This bill promotes the safe integration of autonomous vehicles into the transportation system of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. It establishes definitions for "automated driving system", "autonomous vehicle", and "level three vehicle", and authorizes the Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) to promulgate rules for the testing and deployment of these vehicles. The bill sets requirements for autonomous vehicles, including the need for a failure alert system, meeting federal safety standards, and having a data collection system. It also allows municipalities to impose certain restrictions on autonomous vehicles, such as speed limits, limits on travel without passengers, and parking fees. The bill also imposes a road usage charge on autonomous vehicles, with potential reductions for zero-emission vehicles, vehicles with passengers, and vehicles in areas with limited public transit options.
