AWC participates in Autonomous Vehicle Work Group subcommittees

Passage of SHB 2970 directed the Transportation Commission to “…convene an executive and legislative work group to develop policy recommendations to address the operation of autonomous vehicles on public roadways in the state….” The Autonomous Vehicle (AV) Work Group will remain in place through 2023.

• The Licensing Subcommittee
• The Liability Subcommittee
• The Infrastructure & Systems Subcommittee
• The Safety Subcommittee
• The System Technology & Data Security Subcommittee

AWC is participating as a member of the Safety and Liability Subcommittees. If you’re interested in learning more or participating in these meetings, please contact Logan Bahr at LoganB@awcnet.org or 360-753-4137.
