The United States will introduce a fine for deceiving sensors that detect the presence of hands on the steering wheel

In the United States, there is an increasing number of cars on the road with autonomous driving systems and advanced cruise controls, which still require a person to be ready to take control. Usually, sensors in such cars monitor that the driver's hands are on the steering wheel, but motorists have learned to bypass this limitation using improvised methods. Arizona authorities were the first in the world to decide to impose fines for such "cunning", writes The Arizona Mirror.

It is assumed that administrative liability will be introduced for drivers who interfere with the operation of modern autonomous driving systems on cars of high-tech brands such as Tesla, Volvo and Cadillac. In particular, devices such as Autopilot Buddy, which on Tesla electric cars simulate pressure exerted by the hands of a motorist on the steering wheel, will be banned. The amount of the fine will be $ 250.

The ban applies not only to specialized devices. According to Arizona MP John Cavanaugh, some drivers simulate steering wheel loading with activated autopilot or cruise control systems with oranges, water bottles or bracelets, which poses a hazard when such cars are moving.

It is expected that in the near future, similar legislative initiatives will be adopted in other subjects of the United States.
