Texas Governor Greg Abbott signed legislation requiring a permit to operate self-driving vehicles, enacting new rules just before Tesla's planned robotaxi trial launch in Austin. This introduces a new regulatory layer for autonomous vehicle operations in the state.
The timing of the new law means Tesla's robotaxi service will need to comply with these recently established permit requirements. This could add complexity to the rollout process and potentially impact the speed of deployment.
While the specifics of the permit process were not immediately detailed, the legislation underscores the evolving regulatory landscape for autonomous vehicles and the need for companies to navigate state-specific requirements.
