The amendment to Bill B25-1052 specifies that testing of autonomous vehicles on District roadways now requires a special permit. If a permit isn't available, testing can only occur if a qualified test operator is present in the vehicle and compliant with regulations. This change is important as it aims to ensure safety and oversight in the testing of driverless cars, helping to protect residents and maintain orderly traffic operations.
