Legislation paving the way for autonomous vehicles on Kentucky roads is once again before state lawmakers. It emerged from a House committee Thursday. Testifying in support of the measure was Jeff Farrah, CEO of the Autonomous Vehicle Industry Association. He said AVs help make the roads safer.
“AVs do not speed. They do not text. They do not drive impaired or fatigued. Sadly human drivers do all of those things, contributing to nearly 43,000 deaths on our roads,” said Farrah.
