Bill overview
This bill updates California vehicle codes to allow for the operation of autonomous vehicles on public roads. It requires manufacturers to apply for approval and meet specific safety standards, including the use of ‘ADS marker lamps’ to indicate when the vehicle’s automated driving system is active. The bill also establishes requirements for insurance, testing, and data collection to ensure the safe operation of these vehicles, with some provisions taking effect in 2026 and others in 2030.
