"We applaud Governor Gavin Newsom for vetoing AB 316. This is a strong step toward bringing the benefits of autonomous vehicle technology to the people of California, and we are eager to continue working with all stakeholders to ensure the safe and efficient adoption of the next generation of road safety and transportation." - Brian Moore Vice President Government Affairs https://lnkd.in/dR8Q5wTJ

California Gov. Gavin Newsome late last week vetoed a piece of legislation that would have required a human driver in any otherwise autonomous truck weighing over 10,000 lbs. being driven on the state's highways. Newsome's veto of Assembly Bill 316 is seen as a victory for the autonomous vehicle industry, much of which is based in California. It's also seen as a slap in the face of the Teamsters union, which staged a trucker convoy and rally at the state capitol, calling on Newsome to sign the bill. #usi #usioneadvantage #CommercialInsurance #RiskManagement #InsurancePremiums #ProactiveApproach #InsuranceBroker #ClaimsManagement #LossControl #RiskMitigation #PropertyClaims #InsuranceSavings #InsuranceStrategy #InsurancePlanning #InsuranceTips #InsuranceAdvice #InsuranceIndustry #InsuranceTrends #CostControl #BusinessStrategy #economy #affordablehousing #restaurantmanagement #restaurantindustry

Autonomous trucks, like any emerging technology, face a range of legal issues, each unique to the state they’re in. For example, California Gov. Gavin Newsom recently vetoed Assembly Bill 316, a move that would have banned driverless truck testing and operations in the state, highlighting the issue's complexity. Other states have also considered banning AVs, such as Indiana’s House Bill 1022 and New York’s S7758, which would require human operators for AVs, specifically those over 10,000 lbs. for New York’s legislation. On the other hand, 23 states currently allow driverless truck testing, and some states are considering legislation that would loosen regulations, such as Tennessee’s HB 0139, which would only require AV operators at the head of a platoon. In other cases, the regulatory framework for operating fully autonomous vehicles has been abandoned, such as Kentucky’s H135, which was vetoed in April 2023.

I learned a lot at an event last Thursday organized by the good folks at the Transportation Club of DFW discussing autonomous vehicles for roadway and railroad applications. Much progress continues to be made in demonstrating the technical capabilities and business models for these freight technologies. I have long believed that the primary impediments to widespread adoption at scale will have more to do with public acceptance than private decision-making. Case in point, this afternoon the International Brotherhood of Teamsters is holding a rally at the California State Capitol to highlight the reintroduction of state legislation to require a safety driver in (otherwise) autonomous trucks in the state (their press release https://lnkd.in/gSudj8_g). Tanya Snyder has the scoop in today's POLITICO Morning Transportation newsletter (https://lnkd.in/gRzRf4NE) noting that Governor Gavin Newsom (to whom Molly Ivins if she were still alive might reprise her "Governor Goodhair" nickname of former Texas Governor Rick Perry) had vetoed similar legislation last fall. Ms. Snyder also notes that federal regulation of autonomous trucks has yet to be considered in the U.S. Congress even if they are worried about autonomous automobiles. While Congress might make distinctions between autonomous cars and trucks in terms of hearings and legislation, the Teamsters' press release anchors their objections with recent experiences with robotaxis in the state. Clearly developers of autonomous vehicles of all sizes have to be aware of the implications of vehicle deployments by other firms on public roadways, if for no other reason than to explain why they won't make those same decisions. #autonomousvehicles #trucksafety #freight #regulations

As if California did not have enough on its plate for autonomous vehicles given the last two weeks ... now it's time for the Robotruck Smackdown! There is a state bill pending which requires safety drivers in big trucks that is getting more attention now. "The autonomous vehicle industry argues dissenters are stalling an innovation that has already arrived and will bolster public safety and efficiency" (those watching the news in San Francisco might be forgiven if they are a wee bit skeptical about the "has already arrived" part.) "I think if we don’t do it right, the first thing that’s going to happen is we’ll be on the front page of the paper for what we’ve done wrong.”" (those watching the news will appreciate this sentiment) Some "warn that a 10,000 pound truck can cause far more damage than a passenger vehicle." (yep) Jobs, economy, safety, unions, political wrangling, tech billionaire bros, embracing the future, scary-big trucks, snarling traffic, CA DMV, we'll take our dollars elsewhere threats, who gets which jobs where, etc. Lots of moving parts to this discussion. https://lnkd.in/g4dkY_xc

Governor Gavin Newsom has vetoed Assembly Bill 316, which sought to require human attendants in driverless vehicles over 10,000 pounds, despite widespread legislative support. Key points: 📜 The governor believes existing regulations for heavy-duty autonomous vehicles are sufficient. 🚗 The California DMV oversees autonomous vehicle regulations and seeks input from stakeholders for future laws. 💼 The bill had strong legislative and labor organization support. 🛣️ Concerned about technology's impact on employment, Newsom plans to work with stakeholders to address potential job disruptions caused by self-driving trucks.

California made a bold stance regarding Autonomous Trucks citing concerns about light-duty autonomous vehicles malfunctioning, blocking traffic, and causing accidents. Great insights curated by Kimberly Lynch into the implications of Bill AB316, approved just last week, and what it means for both public safety and the transportation sector. Highlights: ✅ California Appropriations Committee approved Bill AB316 on August 20, 2023. ✅ Bill AB316 will prohibit the operations of autonomous vehicles (AV) with a gross vehicle weight (GVW) of over 10,001 lbs. on public roads without a human safety operator physically present in California. ✅ The bill would also require the manufacturers of AVs with a GVW of over 10,000 lbs. operating under a testing permit to report collision and disengagement date to the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) and require DMV, upon appropriation by the Legislature, to submit a specified evaluation of AV technology and its impact on public safety and employment on the transportation sector by January 1, 2029, or five years after commencement of testing, whichever is later. While California continues to gather data and understanding regarding economic impact, watching Arizona, Texas, Georgia, and Florida which have minimal oversight will provide a better understanding of what the future of AV in trucking will look like.

We are always on the lookout for innovations that drive our industry forward. The recent approval of legislation for autonomous vehicle (AV) operation in the Commonwealth marks a significant milestone. This move, highlighted in The Bottom Line (Kentucky Chamber of Commerce), is about embracing new technology and addressing the commercial truck driver shortage that impacts our economy. House Bill 7 introduces a balanced approach by initially requiring a human driver in autonomous semi-trucks, marrying safety with innovation. As Representative Josh Bray points out, Kentucky's strategic location as a logistics hub positions us to capitalize on this technology, potentially filling 80,000 national truck driver vacancies. We see AV’s as complementary to our workforce, promising enhanced safety and efficiency without displacing jobs. This legislation offers a window into how technology can bolster our logistics strategies, ensuring we remain at the forefront of industry trends and opportunities. #autonomousvehicles #av #selfdrivingvehicles #commercialtrucks #LogisticsInnovation #supplychaintech #futureoflogistics #kentucky #KentuckyLegislation #emergingtech #workforcedevelopment #jobsofthefuture #futureofwork #supplychainefficiency #industrytrends #disruptivetechnology #techadoption https://lnkd.in/eMSw4UTS
