Autonomous Vehicle Testing Program

The Autonomous Illinois Testing Program (Program) encourages the partnership between the State and other entities developing connected autonomous vehicle (CAV) technology and infrastructure. The Program facilitates legal testing and programs on public roads and highways and requires that a licensed driver remains behind the wheel. The Illinois Department of Transportation maintains an annual registration and notification system for entities conducting pilots or tests and files status reports to the governor each December 31 and June 30 until the program ends.
