Where are Self-Driving Cars Legal?

Self-driving cars are getting closer to reality every day. 

Self-driving technology is currently being hotly debated over just how safe it really is and right now, States across America are trying to determine whether or not to make autonomous vehicles legal.

The Center for Internet and Society has been keeping track of which states are allowing self-driving cars to be tested on public roadways and so far, California, Nevada, Florida and Michigan all have legislation that allow these cars to test on public roads.

Though it may be legal in those states, each one has its own definitions of what’s allowed. For example, California requires a driver with a valid driver’s license in the front seat of the autonomous vehicle while Michigan allows driverless cars for testing purposes only.

There are many other states where legislation has failed including Texas, Arizona, Oklahoma, Minnesota and Georgia. States that are allowing the technology include North Dakota and New York, while nearly half the country has yet to mull over a choice.
