In June, CIS reported Nevada's enactment of AB 511, which directs the state's Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) to "adopt regulations authorizing the operation of autonomous vehicles on highways within the State of Nevada." Pursuant to this mandate, the DMV has now issued draft regulations. After holding a series of public workshops and hearings (not yet posted) and submitting its proposed regulations for legislative review in accordance with the Nevada Administrative Procedure Act, the DMV could issue final regulations as early as March 2012. [Update: The final regulation is available in the Nevada Register. I have offline copies of the drafts.]
