**Self-driving cars are legal in
New Jersey
, and there’s only one law regarding them on the books.
If you’re a technophile, self-driving cars are probably making you salivate just a little bit. The only relevant bill in New Jersey actually promotes the testing and adoption of self-driving vehicles. The law states:
  • A task force shall be created to assess, test, study, and eventually adopt self-driving technology throughout the state.
  • Self-driving cars are allowed to be tested on state roads, provided that they’re properly supervised.
If you want to save money for the future purchase of a self-driving vehicle, starting with your current car insurance policy is a savvy move. Since you’re a tech guru,
