Four state senators want to prevent driverless vehicles from being tested in Minnesota until their developers can prove they’re safe.
Republican Sen. Jim Abeler says the death of a woman who was struck by a self-driving vehicle in Tempe, Arizona, confirmed his concerns about the technology.
Minnesota Public Radio says Abeler and three other senators introduced a bill that would ban the automated driving tests. Abeler says he doesn’t expect the legislation to pass this year, but he wants to start the debate.
Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey has suspended Uber’s self-driving vehicle tests because of the fatal crash. The ride-hailing service is also facing new scrutiny in California if it wants to continue to test the technology.
