Are self-driving cars legal in Massachusetts?
I’m a nervous driver and would prefer to always be a passenger. When I heard about self-driving cars, I was ecstatic. Are they legal in Massachusetts?

Sorry to hear that you’re feeling nervous behind the wheel! There are no laws prohibiting self-driving vehicles in
Massachusetts
, so in theory, they are legal. However, there are no self-driving vehicles on the road just yet.Here’s more on that:
- Massachusetts Governor Charles Baker signed an Executive order in 2016 establishing an Autonomous Vehicles Working Group, which allows for the testing of self-driving cars.
- Some manufacturers have promised driverless cars will be released this decade—potentially as soon as 2024. However, there is some skepticism around this claim.
- Evidence that self-driving car technology has advanced can be found in the many driver-assistance features available in most new cars on the road.
Since it looks like you’ll be behind the wheel for a few more years at least, why not take a peek at a few
