Abstract
This Article aims to bring autonomous vehicle testing legislation to the attention of lawmakers who have not yet considered the issue, and to provide encouragement and additional guidance for expansion of legislation at the state level. It does so in three parts. First the article briefly reviews the history of autonomous vehicles. Second, it discusses some of the ways that autonomous vehicles could impact society, and explains why lawmakers might be interested in facilitating the safe and orderly deployment of the technology. Finally, the article reviews the current state of the existing legislation and offers some best practices for implementation of autonomous vehicle testing legislation based on the laws that have been passed so far.
