Autonomous Vehicle Testing Permit Requirement Second Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2024

This resolution declares an emergency to prevent a legal gap that would allow unregulated testing of driverless vehicles on Washington, D.C. roads. It requires companies testing autonomous vehicles to obtain a permit from the Department of Transportation or, if a permit is not yet available, to notify the department before conducting tests. The measure ensures continuous oversight and safety standards between the expiration of a temporary law and the implementation of a permanent version.
