Automated Driving System Commercial Vehicles

The bill prohibits using an automated driving system to drive a commercial motor vehicle unless an individual who holds a commercial driver's license is in the vehicle, monitors the vehicle's driving, and intervenes, if necessary, to avoid illegal or unsafe driving. If the commercial vehicle is transporting hazardous materials, the individual must be in the driver's seat. The penalty is $1,000 for a first offense, is $2,000 for a second offense, and doubles for each subsequent offense.

The bill does not apply to a light-duty vehicle or a truck-mounted attenuator.
