Motor vehicles; operation of oversized vehicles operated by automated driving systems, prohibited

SB 309 proposes new restrictions on the operation of certain automated driving system (ADS) equipped vehicles. The bill prohibits vehicles that require a special permit due to their oversized or overweight dimensions from being operated by an automated driving system. Additionally, it clarifies that state and local entities are not legally obligated to upgrade their transportation infrastructure to accommodate ADS-equipped vehicles. This impacts companies and operators utilizing autonomous technology for large commercial vehicles.
