• Abstract:
  Commercial truck platooning is a relatively novel concept in Texas and around the country. This white paper ; presents the results of a review of state and federal code to identify regulatory and legislative hurdles that ; may delay or deter platooning operations in the State of Texas. The research team reviewed regulations at ; both the federal and state level, although the in-depth review of state-level searches focused mainly on Texas ; measures. It also provides the results of stakeholder interviews focused on identifying liability issues and ; potential strategies to address those issues.
