A 768 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Permits testing and use of autonomous vehicles on State roadways under certain circumstances.

New Jersey's bill A 768 would allow manufacturers to test self-driving vehicles on public roads under strict conditions. It requires manufacturers to obtain $5 million in insurance, get state agency approval, and prove their technology meets safety standards - including disengagement systems, visual alerts, and 30-second crash data recording. The bill mandates written disclosures to buyers about data collected by the vehicle's sensors and requires testing on private roads or out-of-state roads before public testing. This legislation directly affects autonomous vehicle manufacturers seeking to test in New Jersey, not individual drivers or passengers.
