AI Summary
This bill amends Florida's law on autonomous vehicles. It requires a licensed human operator to be physically present in autonomous vehicles with a gross vehicle weight of 10,001 pounds or more when operating on public roads to transport goods or passengers. For autonomous vehicles under 10,001 pounds, no human operator is required. The bill also mandates that manufacturers report certain information to the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, such as autonomous driving system disengagements and collisions involving autonomous vehicles over 10,001 pounds. The department must then conduct an evaluation of the performance of autonomous vehicle technology and report the results to the legislature. The bill takes effect on July 1, 2024.
