California Self-Driving Car Testing Regulations

California's self-driving car testing regulations require companies to obtain permits and submit detailed safety reports before testing autonomous vehicles on public roads. Test drivers must have proper licensing and be present during testing. Companies must report incidents or disengagements (when a human takes control). They also need to conduct risk assessments and share safety data with regulators. The goal is to ensure public safety while allowing innovation. Regulations are regularly updated to address technological advancements and promote responsible testing of autonomous vehicles on California roads.
