This legislation enables vehicle platooning operations. Vehicle platooning systems enhance efficiency by enabling aerodynamic drafting. While platooning, a lead vehicle is followed by one or more other vehicles at a close distance by relying on connected and automated braking systems and other safety technologies, which together comprise a vehicle platooning system. This legislation will update state laws to account for this technology and will unleash innovation in the freight trucking sector, thus allowing trucking fleets to improve vehicle safety and efficiency. The legislation is particularly relevant to legislators in states with vehicle codes that apply a numeric minimum following distance standard generally to all vehicles or specifically to categories of vehicles such as commercial vehicles, vehicles drawing other vehicles, or motorcades/caravans. These standards prohibit vehicle following within a defined distance or time that is outside the bounds of safe and efficient vehicle platooning, and therefore inhibits market adoption. (States with a numeric standard currently include AL, CA, DE, FL, IN, IA, KY, LA, ME, MN, MS, MO, NJ, NM, OK, UT, WV and WI, as well as AR, MI, NV and TN which already have modified their numeric standards to allow limited vehicle platooning.) In addition, the legislation may also be relevant to legislators in states with a non-numeric (e.g. “reasonable and prudent”) minimum following distance standard which may currently allow for vehicle platooning, but which legislators may nonetheless seek to amend to clarify allowance of vehicle platooning. (States with a non-numeric standard currently include AK, CO, CT, HI, ID, IL, KS, MA, MD MT, NC, ND, NE, NH, NY, OR, PA, RI, SD, VA, VT, WA, and WY, as well as AZ, GA, OH, SC, and TX which already have clarified their non-numeric standards either legislatively or administratively to allow for limited vehicle platooning.
