Rules for Self-Driving Cars in Legal Gray Area

on

""They're probably legal already, and that's true in pretty much most states," said Bryant Walker Smith, a legal expert and fellow at the Center for Automotive Research at Stanford (CARS).

California's policies will likely influence how other states develop regulations for self-driving vehicles, although other states won't necessarily envision the same rulemaking process, Smith told Live Science. "Some states might simply clarify that automated-vehicle testing is legal [already] under certain conditions," he said."
