• Abstract:
  The states of Michigan, California, Nevada, and Florida, along with the District of Columbia, have recently passed legislation to allow the use of autonomous motor vehicles on public roads in their states under restricted conditions. Other states such as Colorado, New Hampshire, Texas, Oklahoma, Arizona, Oregon, and Wisconsin also considered introducing legislation but decided not to at this stage. The issue facing Louisiana is which path to follow. Is it better to introduce legislation now or wait until later? This study is aimed at providing information that will help legislators make an informed decision on this matter.
