Summary

The bill updates state law to treat self‑driving private passenger vehicles as automobiles for insurance purposes. It requires anyone who owns or registers a self‑driving car to carry the insurance coverage already required for conventional vehicles. This ensures that autonomous cars are covered by the same liability and medical expense protections as other cars on the road.
