New Law To be Implemented: Self-Driving Cars Can Now Be Tested On Public Roads In Michigan

A new law has been implicated in the state of Michigan that could lead them to the greatness of autonomous vehicle development. They are going to implement such laws to recommend the use of technology to convenience.

State Of Michigan Implements Law On Allowing Self-Driving Cars On Public Roads

Like any other law to be passed, it also comes with restrictions. However, allowing self-driving cars on the public streets if Michigan doesn't require as much hassle than expected. There are only pointers and guidelines needed for the drivers, companies, and car owners are to be reminded of. The law also allows taxis and tech companies to run autonomous services and permits the test of self-driving tractor-trailers under the condition that there is at least one person in the truck, even though he's not behind a steering wheel. Upon tested and approval, the state will then allow these vehicles to function in public roads and highways.

Bill Is Passed To Ensure The Right Track Of Technology In This Generation

The bill is allowed to be tested without hassle on the restrictions and requirements, as said by Governor Rick Snyder that this allows the state to move forward on its potential with life-saving kind of technology. The four bills were signed last Friday, which served as the first step to state-level regulation on self-driving cars. According to the Governor, he sees this opportunity as an implementation on safety and economic success as well. When this succeeds, it will prevent less vehicular accidents that could involve casualties among the drivers and passengers alike.

As for companies with interest in implementing and providing self-driving cars for users, some of them are not eligible for such despite being well known for its rapid increase and catch up on technology. Google and Apple alike, they will not be authorized to showcase such cars and won't be classified as a motor vehicle manufacturer, unless they provide vehicles on the open market that meet the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's vehicular standards. Autonomous vehicles still have to go through a number of stages and will take years for them to be fully named as one.
