Colorado HB1286 requires a licensed driver to be present in commercial vehicles using automated driving systems.

Colorado HB1286 mandates that commercial motor vehicles using automated driving systems must have a person holding a commercial driver's license physically present in the vehicle. This individual must monitor the vehicle's performance and intervene if necessary to avoid illegal or unsafe driving. If the vehicle is transporting hazardous materials, the licensed individual must be seated in the driver's seat. The bill imposes penalties for violations, with fines increasing for subsequent offenses. The law does not apply to light-duty vehicles or truck-mounted attenuators.
