text: You might say that a driverless car is still illegal in most states. This is because it still has not been profected. The developers are still working to ensure that a driverless car is safe enough to be on the road at all times, in all situations. When states see that the car is just as safe, if not safer than a manual car, the laws will most likely change to accomidate a driverless car. If not, there will be many studies to evaluate the saftey of the car and statistics will show that there are less collisions in the driverless car, so the states that still haven't passed the law will most likely pass it at this point.
