加州自动驾驶重卡测试正式进入公共道路阶段。加州机动车管理局(DMV)已向 Aurora Innovation 和 Kodiak AI 发放许可,允许两家公司在州内道路测试自动驾驶卡车,Kodiak 已率先启动测试。

新规放开重卡测试

Kodiak 表示,首批测试车辆数量不多,主要围绕其位于山景城的办公室展开。根据加州 DMV 今年春季更新并在 4 月 28 日批准的新规,重量超过 1 万磅的无人驾驶车辆不再被禁止在公共道路测试,这也为后续商业部署打开了监管通道。

加州 DMV 表示,两家公司已满足许可要求,包括安全标准、保险、车辆登记以及安全驾驶员资格等条件。现阶段的测试仍有明确限制:车辆必须配备人类安全员,且原则上不得驶入限速 25 英里以下的道路,除非属于两地之间的直接通行路线。

工会提起诉讼反对

自动驾驶卡车进入加州高速公路,仍面临来自劳工团体的反对。上周,Teamsters California 起诉加州 DMV,称该机构绕过了相关法律要求,没有就自动驾驶卡车上路可能带来的经济影响开展研究并向公众披露。

这起诉讼已提交至阿拉米达县高等法院。起诉方还指责 DMV 未充分评估自动驾驶卡车对其他道路使用者可能带来的安全风险。

企业重回本土测试

对自动驾驶卡车公司而言,新规的意义在于,它们终于可以在总部所在州推进测试和后续部署。Aurora 和 Kodiak 都总部设在加州,但此前由于本州禁令,主要把测试和运营放在得州。

Aurora 已于 2025 年 5 月在得州推出自动驾驶卡车服务,最初路线为达拉斯至休斯敦,之后又扩展至沃思堡、埃尔帕索、菲尼克斯和拉雷多等线路。Kodiak 则在 2025 年 1 月先于得州西部二叠纪盆地的非公共道路环境开展商业化无人卡车运营,随后扩展到达拉斯至休斯敦的公路线路。

加州此次发放测试许可,意味着自动驾驶重卡企业在美国最重要的科技州之一获得了新的试验场,也让监管、就业和道路安全之间的争论进一步升温。
