Bill > H3595

This bill aims to regulate the use of autonomous vehicles in the state. It defines key terms like "autonomous mode" and "autonomous technology," and sets out requirements for autonomous vehicles registered in the state, such as having a means to engage and disengage the autonomous technology and alert the operator of any technology failures. The bill also allows for the testing of autonomous vehicles on public roads, provided that a human operator is present, and limits the liability of the original vehicle manufacturer in certain cases. Finally, the bill requires the state Department of Transportation to submit a report by June 2022 recommending any additional legislative or regulatory action needed for the safe testing and operation of autonomous vehicles.
