Autonomous Trucks
A California bill continues to move through the statehouse that is intended to slow down efforts to put autonomous large trucks on state roadways. Since 2015, the operation of autonomous trucks on California roadways is prohibited. State law, however, allows for testing and operation of autonomous vehicles weighing less than 10,000 pounds without a driver behind the wheel. The state Department of Motor Vehicles is considering changes to the ban on autonomous trucks. Her bill would restrict the use of autonomous trucks on California roadways.
