Vast highways, a booming freight market and the country's least restrictive laws governing autonomous vehicles have turned Texas into the industry’s most desired location

While some limited driverless tests with 18-wheelers have taken place in Arizona, a launch in Texas would mark the first commercial use. Alphabet’s Waymo Via and box-truck start-up Gatik, which counts Walmart as a customer, are setting up hubs there in preparation. The industry is using the bill as a blueprint when lobbying other states about regulating self-driving vehicles, a Gatik executive and safety researchers said.

Texas boasts some of the country’s fastest-growing metropolitan areas as well as several entry ports from Mexico. It also sits in the middle of one of the busiest US freight routes, Atlanta-Los Angeles, which carries more than 8,500 trucks daily, according to the US DOT. Self-driving companies hope to automate many of those highways.

“The state is not being laissez-faire about the operation of these vehicles, they have to comply with traffic laws,” TxDOT’s Anderson said.
