A bill for an act relating to the operation of driverless-capable vehicles, including associated civil and criminal liability, and making penalties applicable.
Placed on calendar under unfinished business. S.J. 599.
Summary
Driverless‑capable vehicles may operate on public roads without a human behind the wheel if they meet specific safety and certification standards, but they cannot do so when carrying hazardous materials. The bill makes the vehicle’s owner responsible for injuries, deaths, property damage, and traffic violations, and holds anyone who modifies the automated system without the manufacturer’s consent liable. Violations involving hazardous‑material transport are treated as a simple misdemeanor.
