Regulatory Trend. Self Driving Cars. Golden State Moves Rules for Fully Autonomous Vehicles. Read the Rules.

State: California

Newly posted rules are business friendly. Consumer advocates not as pleased. Here’s what the new rules would do:

  • Removes provision that companies  test autonomous vehicles for 1 year to fully deploy
  • Eases accident and autonomous vehicle-disengagement reporting requirements
  • No requirement for city approval for testing
  • Cities will have to be notified and companies will have to coordinate with cities
