Illinois SB2009 amends the Illinois Vehicle Code to define "leader follower attenuator truck" as a driverless vehicle guided by a human-driven vehicle. This driverless vehicle is equipped with sensors to detect obstacles and stop if necessary. The bill permits the Department of Transportation and the Illinois State Toll Highway Authority to use these trucks on state highways to improve safety for workers in construction and maintenance zones.
