California moves to lift ban on heavy driverless trucks
California is closing a brief 15-day public comment period today on revised regulations that could soon allow heavy-duty autonomous trucks to operate on state roadways, ending a years-long ban that has forced the industry to test elsewhere.
The California DMV has opened a 15-day public comment period on revised proposed regulations for autonomous heavy- and light-duty vehicles. The period runs through December 18, 2025, and aims to gather feedback on new requirements for testing and deploying autonomous vehicle technology on California roads. Key changes include third-party expert consultation, revised reporting requirements, and approval for certain medium-duty autonomous vehicles to operate on public roads.
