HB2240

Missouri HB2240 sets requirements for operating autonomous vehicles, including the presence of a human operator.

Missouri HB2240 establishes specific rules for the operation of autonomous vehicles. It mandates that an appropriately endorsed driver with a valid license must be present in the vehicle and capable of actively controlling it at all times. The bill also prohibits autonomous vehicles from engaging in interstate commerce or transporting goods or passengers for personal and nonrevenue use unless a human operator is physically present and able to monitor and intervene. Violation of these provisions can result in a class B misdemeanor, escalating to a class A misdemeanor if an accident occurs.
