California to Consider Allowing Small Self-Driving Delivery Trucks on Roads
Manufacturers will be allowed to test autonomous delivery vehicles weighing less than 10,001 pounds with an approved permit from the regulator, the DMV said.
It was not clear if these delivery vehicles will be required to have a safety driver while testing, as is required for passenger cars.
The regulator will hold a public hearing at its Sacramento headquarters on May 30 to gather inputs on the proposed regulations.
Currently, 62 companies have valid permits to test autonomous vehicles with a safety driver on California public roadways.
