AI Summary
This bill, the SAFE AUTONOMOUS VEHICLE (SAVE) Act, creates a framework for Motor Vehicle Manufacturers to launch "SAVE projects" that allow the public to operate autonomous vehicles equipped with automated driving systems on public roads in Illinois. The bill defines key terms like "Automated Driving System" and "Motor Vehicle Manufacturer," and outlines the eligibility requirements for participating in a SAVE project, including self-certification and insurance coverage. It also addresses how autonomous vehicles will be treated under traffic and motor vehicle laws, with the automated driving system considered the "driver" and the manufacturer assuming liability for incidents caused by the technology. The bill preempts home rule powers, meaning local governments cannot regulate SAVE projects, and imposes fines and misdemeanor charges for operating an autonomous vehicle without meeting the eligibility requirements.
