In one paragraph

Oklahoma's SB 365 (2019) creates the Oklahoma Driving Automation System Uniformity Act. Only the State of Oklahoma may enact a law or take other action to regulate the operation of motor vehicles equipped with driving automation systems, meaning hardware and software able to perform part or all of the driving task on a sustained basis (SAE levels 1 to 5). Counties and municipalities may not prohibit, restrict or regulate the operation of such vehicles because they have driving automation systems, and existing local laws or ordinances restricting their testing or operation are superseded.
