drivers required for autonomous trucks

AB316 (2013 | CA) will require drivers behind the wheel of autonomous big trucks. Effectively the bill bans truly autonomous driving big trucks. It awaits Governor Newsom’s signature. Last month the Governor’s staff sent a letter to the bill’s author explaining that “restrictions on autonomous trucking would not only undermine existing regulations, but could also limit supply chain innovation and effectiveness and hamper California’s economic competitiveness.”
