HB 2208 Missouri House · 2026 Regular Session

Establishes provisions relating to autonomous vehicles

HB 2208 establishes rules for operating fully autonomous vehicles (without human drivers) on public roads in this state. It requires these vehicles to achieve a "minimal risk condition" during system failures, submit law enforcement plans to the Department of Public Safety, and maintain proof of financial responsibility. The bill mandates special vehicle registration and titling identifying the vehicle as fully autonomous, while exempting them from human-driver-specific traffic laws during autonomous operation. These provisions directly affect companies operating self-driving vehicle fleets, ensuring safety protocols and accountability without restricting human control when needed.
