Clarifies that owners of self-driving motor vehicles must comply with existing insurance requirements.
This bill (S 2324) clarifies that owners of self-driving cars must follow New Jersey's existing auto insurance rules. It amends definitions in state insurance law to explicitly include "self-driving private passenger automobiles" under the term "automobile," ensuring these vehicles are subject to standard insurance requirements like regular cars. This directly affects owners of autonomous vehicles in New Jersey, requiring them to carry the same insurance coverage as conventional vehicles. The bill does not create new insurance mandates but confirms current rules apply to self-driving technology.
