This bill allows for the operation of fully autonomous vehicles on the public roads of New York state without a human driver, provided that 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 sets out the requirements for operating these vehicles, including insurance coverage and registration.
