California is proposing the testing of autonomous semi-trucks on public roads

California is proposing the testing of self-driving heavy-duty trucks on state roads.

The state only permits testing self-driving vehicles under 10,000 pounds.

Autonomous semis are already being tested in states like Texas, Arizona, and Arkansas. California is the only state that explicitly bans them.

The trucker union is expected to push back. A public comment period is open through June.
