Pennsylvania HB1639 amends vehicle laws to allow highly automated vehicles to operate on state highways if a human driver is present and able to.

Pennsylvania HB1639 amends Title 75 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes to exempt highly automated vehicles from the certificate of compliance requirement if they require a human driver who can take over the dynamic driving task or respond to intervention requests. The bill specifies that such vehicles can legally operate on Pennsylvania highways even if they have an automated driving system capable of performing the entire dynamic driving task within its operational design domain. This change takes effect 60 days after the act's passage.
