{"text":"California is going to allow the testing of light-duty autonomous trucks on public roads under a proposed rule announced by the DMV last Friday. The state's Department of Motor Vehicles announced the proposal today, which outlines a permitting process for companies wishing to test or deploy Driverless trucks for testing.\n\n\nThe rule would only apply to autonomous vehicles weighing less than 10,001 pounds. That means only Class 1 and 2 trucks — which include minivans, pickup trucks, utility vans, and step vans — could receive permits for testing under the proposed rule. All vehicles in Class 3 through 8 — which include walk-in delivery trucks, semi trucks, buses, and heavy-duty construction vehicles — would not be allowed under this permitting system.\nRead more: https://www.theverge.com/2019/4/12/18308136/california-dmv-self-driving-trucks-light-duty  ","videos":"[]","link":"{}","pics":"[]","canComment":true}
