The Legal Status of Low Speed, Electric, Automated Vehicles in Texas

This research explores whether vehicles that are both Neighborhood Electric Vehicles (NEVs) and Automated Vehicles (AVs) may operate legally on public roads in Texas.

While the intent of Senate Bill 2205 was to legalize the operation of AVs, there is still confusion surrounding the legality of automated NEVs due to a conflict of authority between the existing statutes governing NEVs and the new statute governing AVs.
