Senate amendment amends the 2nd edition as follows.
Revises proposed GS 20-121.2 (Operation of a neighborhood occupantless vehicle on certain roadways; regulations; equipment requirements) as follows. Requires neighborhood occupantless vehicles (rather than their operators) to turn off the roadway to a controlled stop to allow faster moving vehicles to pass as previously described. Modifies the terminology used in subsection (b), setting out equipment exemptions, to refer to fully autonomous vehicles (rather than neighborhood occupantless vehicles) designed to be operated exclusively and at all times by an automated driving system.
Changes the act's effective date from October 1, 2021, to December 1, 2021.
