Lege Trend. Self Driving Car Framework Adopted in the Goldenrod State

Nebraska Legislature sent to final reading LB989 (2018) that will:

• permit self driving cars anywhere in Nebraska
• allows for no human driver as long as certain conditions are met
• allows for consultation with railroads concerning self driving vehicles and railroad crossings

How did the bill begin? As a pilot project in Lincoln on a fixed route and was expanded to anywhere in the state.
