Bill > H3298

This bill proposes to limit the use of autonomous driving technology in Massachusetts to only zero-emission and electric vehicles. The key provisions are: 1) defining "autonomous technology" as technology that can control a vehicle without human operation, and "autonomous vehicle" as a vehicle equipped with such technology; 2) defining "zero emission vehicle" as a battery electric, plug-in hybrid electric, or fuel cell vehicle; and 3) requiring that any autonomous vehicle operated on Massachusetts roads must be a zero-emission vehicle. The bill aims to align the use of autonomous driving capabilities with the state's sustainability and environmental goals.
