Bill > SB811

This bill enacts provisions relating to automated driving systems (ADS) in Missouri. It defines key terms like "automated driving system", "driverless-capable vehicle", and "minimal risk condition". The bill allows ADS-equipped vehicles with a conventional human driver present to operate on public roads, and it also allows driverless-capable vehicles to operate on public roads without a human driver, as long as they meet certain requirements like being able to achieve a minimal risk condition. The bill requires proof of financial responsibility for ADS-equipped vehicles and allows driverless-capable vehicles to provide transportation services like for-hire transportation and ridesharing. Finally, the bill gives the Department of Revenue the sole authority to implement these provisions and prohibits political subdivisions from imposing certain taxes or requirements related to ADS-equipped vehicles.
