Rules to allow testing without a driver and deployment of light-duty autonomous vehicles were subsequently adopted and took effect in 2018. Regulations allowing for light-duty autonomous delivery vehicles weighing less than 10,001 pounds were approved in 2019. The DMV’s current regulations exclude the testing or deployment of autonomous vehicles over 10,001 pounds.
