Bill > A00539

This bill allows for the operation of fully autonomous vehicles on the public roads of New York state without a human driver, provided the automated driving system is engaged and the vehicle meets certain conditions. The bill defines key terms such as "automated driving system," "dynamic driving task," and "fully autonomous vehicle." It requires insurance coverage and registration of these vehicles, and establishes the Department of Transportation as the sole regulatory authority over autonomous vehicles in the state, with some exceptions for New York City. The bill also addresses licensing, duties following crashes, and the operation of autonomous vehicles by human drivers.
