Law360 quoted Tony LaRocca in an article titled “Calif., Other States Fill Self-Driving Car Regulatory Gaps.” The article, published February 28, discusses how California’s decision to allow autonomous cars to be tested on public roads for the first time without a human driver behind the wheel signals that states are racing to get truly driverless cars ready for mainstream America while the federal government continues to draft regulations to roll them out.
Mr. LaRocca says: “The new California rules reflect the pressure that new technology is putting on regulators to act. Rapid advances in technology and increasing demand for the benefits that may be offered by the new technology are creating a regulatory vacuum that the states, and not the federal government, are beginning to fill.”
