A 1589 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Permits testing and use of autonomous vehicles on State roadways under certain circumstances.

This bill allows manufacturers to test autonomous vehicles on New Jersey public roads under strict conditions. It requires manufacturers to obtain approval from the Motor Vehicle Commission, maintain $5 million insurance, and ensure an operator is seated and ready to take manual control during testing. Vehicles must have safety features like disengagement systems, visual indicators, and data capture for 30 seconds before collisions. The bill also mandates written disclosures to buyers about data collected by autonomous technology. It applies only to testing, not public use of self-driving cars.
