Are self-driving cars legal in Georgia?

I’m intrigued by the future of self-driving cars. Maybe I watched one too many sci-fi movies, but I feel like it’s the technology that’s going to change the world, much like the internet. I live in Atlanta, so my only worry is that the government is going to regulate them too much. In Georgia, are self-driving cars legal?

If you’re excited about a future of self-driving vehicles to get from Point A to Point B,
Georgia
isn’t going to stand in the way. Self-driving cars are legal in Georgia and the government has passed two bills to promote the testing and adoption of such vehicles.
These laws are as follows:
  • A law that eliminates tailgating laws for self-driving vehicles, so long as they use vehicle-to-vehicle communication technology.
  • Made a law that exempts operators of self-driving cars from having a driver’s license. However, the vehicle must still have
    car insurance
    and be registered with the state.
While experts aren’t quite sure when self-driving cars are going to become available to the public, you can start saving now for the future. A great place to start is by comparing car insurance quotes with the
