AI Summary
This bill establishes a process for handling traffic violations committed by autonomous vehicles, which are defined as vehicles that can drive themselves without a human driver. If a law enforcement officer determines an autonomous vehicle has broken a traffic law, a notice of violation or citation will be mailed to the vehicle's registered owner. This notice must be sent within twenty business days, unless there are issues with registration, and requires payment or response within thirty days of mailing, with a second notice allowing an additional thirty days before further penalties are applied. The notice will detail the fine and any potential additional fees or court costs, and the registered owner can choose to pay the fine without contesting it in court.
