California DMV proposes draft regulations for autonomous truck operations on highways, requiring safety drivers initially.

California's DMV has proposed draft regulations for autonomous vehicle operations on highways, allowing self-driving trucks to begin long-haul deliveries, with safety drivers required initially. The regulations, open for feedback until October 14, aim to support autonomous trucking startups but may disrupt traditional trucking jobs. This move comes amid increasing scrutiny of autonomous driving technology due to safety concerns. Governor Gavin Newsom must approve the bills for them to become law.
