info_outlineEpisode 89: Calloway County personal injury attorney Jeff Roberts discusses accidents involving self-driving cars. For the purposes of this episode, the term “self-driving” will refer to both autonomous driving vehicles and those requiring a driver to be in the front seat, but not necessarily guiding the vehicle the entire time.
New Kentucky Legislation
There are two laws regarding self-driving cars became effective in July of 2024. Autonomous vehicles refer to those not needing the assistance of driver to operate on the roads. Automated driving systems enable to the vehicle to travel on the roads, but require someone to be in the driver’s seat to takeover, should that be required for safety reasons.
It is legal to have an autonomous car on the road in Kentucky. Over time, this will also include large, tractor trailers. Autonomous trucks weighing 6,200 pounds or more will be legal on Kentucky beginning July 31, 2026.
Safe-Driving Technology
Jeff comments on how many cars are already equipped with lane departure, automatic breaking and other safety features. Fortunately, the technology being used by self-driving vehicles are even more advanced. He admits there will be a learning curve for the manufacturers of autonomous vehicles. This creates a scary situation for other drivers on the road with self-driving cars in the area. Hopefully, the technology will avoid having the vehicles camp out in the left lane; but that’s a topic for another episode!
