Tesla Inc. has met with California and Nevada agencies about testing an autonomous semi truck ahead of Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk’s unveiling of the next addition to the electric-car maker’s lineup.
The California Department of Motor Vehicles is meeting with Tesla on Wednesday, said Jessica Gonzalez, a spokeswoman for the agency. The department is working with the California Highway Patrol on crafting regulations that would cover testing of vehicles weighing more than 10,000 pounds, which isn’t allowed yet, she said.
