Are self-driving cars legal in the US?
I live in the UK, but desperately want to move to America! Are driverless cars legal there? I’m buzzing to get one of those!

‘Allo Mate! The US welcomes you with open arms. It’s not it illegal to own or operate a self-driving car anywhere in the US, and many states have passed laws allowing for them. However, there are no self-driving cars on the road just yet.
But they could be coming soon! Let’s look into that.
- The technologies in self-driving cars are called advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and were designed toreduce the risk of human error.
- ADAS builds on technology that’s been used in driver-assistance features in cars for years.
- Some states allow driverless vehicles with the stipulation that a human operator must be inside, while other states allow driverless vehicles with no human operator present.
- Some manufacturers predict that driverless vehicles will be available as early as 2024, but there is some skepticism around this claim.
When you do get yourself a driverless car, make sure it’s insured with the right
