NJ Senate Greenlights Autonomous Car Pilot, Safety Rules
Description
New Jerseys Senate transportation committee has approved a three-year pilot program for driverless cars, passing the bill unanimously. The program aims to test autonomous vehicles on state roads while establishing a task force to address safety concerns, including crashes, cyberattacks, liability, and pedestrian safety rules. The bill, sponsored by Senator Andrew Zwicker, has been revised to shorten the timeline, ban self-driving trucks, and establish no-go zones. The measure now heads to the full Senate, with the Assembly twin awaiting a hearing. The program is expected to benefit the blind and disabled, who see autonomous rides as a game-changer for independence.
