Will states and cities be held accountable for any mishaps, crashes or deaths due to the experimental efforts on their streets?
There are now 29 states that have various driverless laws on their books,: Alabama, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Michigan, Mississippi, Nebraska, New York, Nevada, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Vermont, Washington, and Wisconsin, plus Washington, D.C.
The discussion included aspects about which states have gone out of their way to court automakers and tech firms to bring their public roadway tryouts into their jurisdictions, and which ones have not yet taken that bold step.
