North Carolina legalizes driverless delivery vehicles

(TNS) — North Carolinians may someday have pizzas or groceries delivered to their homes or businesses by driverless vehicles, under a bill signed into law by Gov. Roy Cooper this week.

The bill allows fully autonomous vehicles designed to deliver cargo to operate on public streets and highways in the state. The new law refers to them as “neighborhood occupantless vehicles” and permits their use on roads with a speed limit of 45 mph or less.
