AB 33: Autonomous vehicles.

This bill aims to regulate the operation of autonomous vehicles in California. It prohibits the delivery of commercial goods directly to a residence or business through an autonomous vehicle without a human safety operator on highways. Violations are subject to fines, with a first offense resulting in a $10,000 administrative fine and subsequent offenses carrying a $25,000 fine. The bill also authorizes the suspension or revocation of permits for manufacturers that repeatedly violate the provision. Additionally, the bill requires a report on the performance of autonomous vehicle technology and its impact on public safety and employment, as well as the submission of information from relevant state agencies.
