Some state lawmakers want to pump the brakes on self-driving vehicles and artificial intelligence in Kentucky.

So all Yorkville State Representative John Blanton is the sponsor of a House concurrent resolution that would establish a task force to look into both of those areas.

Under the resolution, the task force would consider the safety benefits and concerns of autonomous vehicles.

Questions of liability and the economic impact on the commercial driving industry.

A revised version of the resolution adds a AI to the discussion.

What the committee sub does, and now the bill will do.

It combines an autonomous vehicle task force along with an AI task force.

We had two separate resolutions, but we saw that these two were highly intertwined because dealing with technology.

This establishes a task force to continue looking into this new up and coming technology, whether it's autonomous vehicles or air, so that we as members of the General Assembly can stay on top of these issues because they are very fluid.

And we want to make sure that we get it right.

Makers are once again considering a bill allowing for self-driving vehicles in Kentucky after a similar bill was vetoed by Governor Andy Beshear last year.

Several AI related bills have also been introduced this session.

The task force would meet during the interim and submit its findings to the Legislative Research Commission before December.
