See anyone riding unicorns around recently?

Exactly.

Legacy regulations governing the occupant compartment are not yet a practical impediment for self driving cars because they haven't got that far yet.

Realistically what the removal of this regulation means is that some hypothetical future company with an autonomous yard spotter can drive the thing 500yd down the public way from warehouse B to warehouse C without the legal department getting antsy.

I'm guessing because fully automated vehicles don't exist (yet).
