Establishes certain requirements relating to the operation of autonomous vehicles
HB 3034 requires that autonomous vehicles operating on public roads in this state must have a licensed, trained driver physically present in the vehicle at all times who can immediately take control. The bill mandates that operators follow standard traffic safety rules, drive carefully at safe speeds, and avoid stunt driving. It directly affects autonomous vehicle operators, manufacturers, and drivers testing or using such vehicles on state roads. Violations would be punishable as misdemeanors, with higher penalties if an accident occurs. The bill establishes baseline safety requirements for autonomous vehicle operation without eliminating the need for a human driver.
