Tesla started preparations for the testing of electric trucks, so we are now negotiating with the authorities of Nevada and California, writes Bloomberg. According to representatives of Tesla, the first Autonomous electropura will be presented to the public in September 2017.
The appeal of Tesla to the Ministry of transport and officials said that when testing the autopilot truck drivers in the cabs of trucks will not, so the developers ask local authorities to take this characteristic into account and to prepare the necessary documents in advance.
The Ministry of transport of the state of California reports that the state has no laws governing the movement and testing of unmanned vehicles whose weight exceeds 4.5 tonnes, so now the transport Ministry is working on new rules and modifying old laws specifically at the request of Tesla. Improved traffic is also attracted to road patrol on state.
The decision to conduct testing of trucks in these States due to the fact that the production facilities of Tesla are in the same place. Mass production of trucks is scheduled to begin after a year or two after the presentation.
