All 50 states have some form of autonomous vehicle rules, but the most active AI-specific regulation is in California (DMV oversight regulations effective May 2026), Texas, Arizona, Nevada and Pennsylvania for commercial AV deployment. New York (A03650), Kentucky (HB 223), and other states are developing AI driver-equivalent frameworks. The California DMV released new oversight regulations in May 2026 strengthening enforcement authority over autonomous trucks and transit.
In most states, no — traffic tickets require a human driver. California is moving to change that: a 2026 bill (AB by Asm. Davies) would hold autonomous vehicle builders accountable for traffic violations committed by their AI systems. The bill came after several high-profile incidents involving driverless taxis running red lights and blocking emergency vehicles in San Francisco.
Liability for autonomous vehicle crashes is unsettled. Most states default to traditional driver liability, but AVs without a human driver shift exposure to the manufacturer, software developer, or fleet operator. California, Texas, and Pennsylvania have started crafting AI-specific liability frameworks tying the legal duty to the “automated driving system” rather than a human.
