Totally swamped at work, but just wanted to jot down notes about the tons of activity among state legislators and others who want to test, manufacture, or otherwise welcome driverless transportation.
Ohio - Route 33 proposed as a test road for driverless. Ohio State University (OSU) would be involved.
Tennessee - SB 1561 legislation made it out of committee. An enthusiastic legislator is talking up the possibilities for driverless in the state. Here is the link straight to SB 1561.
Florida - Go out and buy that vehicle without the steering wheel and the brakes. HB 7061 is a blast!
California - AB 2866 goes in the same direction as the Florida bill. Must be something about warm weather states. Text is more clear than Florida's. Read here. A legislative hearing will be held on Apr. 18.
Europe - reported divisions over regulation of driverless transportation.
I have yet to read the written comments submitted to NHTSA - the US National Highway Transportation Safety Administration - following the Apr. 8 hearing in DC. Hope to get to that this weekend. Not sure. I want to bake bread and do some artwork.
