What happened
R Street Institute submitted testimony to the Maryland Commission on Climate Change regarding autonomous vehicle deployment in the state. The organization supported Individual Commissioner Recommendation #2, which called for the Maryland legislature to legalize the use of autonomous vehicles that are EVs. This support was made during the recent General Assembly session, referencing House Bill 1295 and Senate Bill 909.

Why it matters
The testimony outlines a potential policy framework for governing highly autonomous vehicles in Maryland. If enacted, this framework could establish operational standards for the deployment of autonomous vehicles within the state. This aligns with the broader findings of the International Energy Agency on the global EV market.
The International Energy Agency has released reports detailing current trends and forecasts within the global Electric Vehicle (EV) market.
