Recent legislative news is bubbling up from the states as many consider the notion of testing, studying, and permitting driverless vehicles to roam their streets and highways.
Tennessee
Tennessee has unusual legislation. Instead of allowing driverless vehicles to be tested or driven in the state, with whatever limitations the legislature chooses, this law will prohibit political subdivisions - a/k/a cities, towns and counties - from prohibiting the use of autonomous vehicles if they otherwise comply with all safety regulations of that political subdivision.
North Dakota
Not exactly a law and this news is a few weeks old, but North Dakota's political leaders are looking at driverless vehicles. In a time honored tradition of not knowing quite what to do, North Dakota's law calls for a legislative management study of automated vehicles.
Utah
Utah has a new law allowing for testing of connected vehicles outside of urban areas. The law does not mention autonomous vehicles.
Maryland
Maryland's legislative session just ended without passing the proposed legislation for a task force to study issues relating to driverless vehicles.
