Autonomous trucks restriction introduced in multiple statehouses

Pursuit in the Florida Senate calls for establishing rules on the operation of autonomous trucks on roadways.

Sponsored by Sen. Victor Torres, D-Orlando, the bill would require that a licensed human operator be physically present in a fully autonomous vehicle with a gross vehicle weight of at least 10,000 pounds. The rule would apply when the vehicle is operating on a public road in the state to transport goods or passengers. Learn more here
