    Following discussions and meetings with the state's  HAV Advisory Committee, PennDOT has issued guidance to enhance safety oversight of Highly Automated Vehicles in Pennsylvania  (PDF). 

    In order to become an AV operator in PA, applicants should complete the HAV Certificate of Compliance Online Form​ . If elements of the Self Certification form change in the future, Applicants should determine if the change would render the original application materially inaccurate and, if so, submit a new self-certification form. Typically, adding or removing drivers or the same vehicles included in the original application can be handled through an email update to PennDOT.

    If Applicants encounter any issues or have questions, please email PennDOT at penndotav@pa.gov.
