An Act amending Title 75 (Vehicles) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in highly automated vehicles, further providing for certificate of compliance required.
HB 1639 amends Pennsylvania's vehicle code to exempt certain highly automated vehicles from requiring a certificate of compliance. The bill specifically applies to vehicles equipped with automated driving systems that still need a human driver present to take over driving tasks or respond to intervention requests. This change makes it lawful to operate such vehicles on Pennsylvania highways without the additional certification, as long as a human driver is available to assume control. The law takes effect 60 days after enactment.
