Are self-driving cars legal in Wisconsin?

Recently, I’ve been reading more about autonomous vehicles. However, I’m not exactly sure what my home state of Wisconsin is doing regarding legislation on these vehicles. Are self-driving cars legal in Wisconsin?

Autonomous cars have gained quite a following as established companies and startups both attempt to create the first commercial model. Fortunately for you, self-driving cars are legal in
Wisconsin
with only a single law that regulates them in any way.
In April 2018, the Wisconsin State Legislature passed a law that stated that platooned self-driving trucks are exempt from maintaining a 500-foot distance between vehicles. While this applies mostly to testing on public roads, it shouldn’t have much effect on the adoption of self-driving vehicles in the future.
