Massachusetts H3669 amends Chapter 90 of the General Laws to require autonomous vehicles registered in the state to adhere to federal motor vehicle standards and regulations. The bill stipulates that these vehicles cannot be used for interstate commerce, passenger transport, or goods transport unless a human safety operator is physically present. This operator must be qualified under both state and federal regulations and have the ability to monitor the vehicle's performance and intervene if necessary.
