While the law requires a person to be in the driver’s seat at all times, it also protects manufacturers of self-driving cars from liability for damage caused by the cars, unless the damage is the result of a manufacturing defect.
The legislature will likely keep Michigan auto suppliers from moving their self-driving vehicle tests to other states. It also opens the door for Michigan universities to further develop and test their self-driving systems.
According to the University of Michigan, the city of Ann Arbor—which is near the end of a 15-month study of 3,000 interconnected vehicles—could become the first U.S. city with a network of self-driving vehicles by 2021.
