New Guidelines for Autonomous Vehicles
Posted on Jan 15, 2016 in Industry News | Comments Off on New Guidelines for Autonomous Vehicles
The federal government has announced its intention to support the development of autonomous vehicle technology with new guidelines and nearly $4 billion in funding. At the North American International Auto Show, the Transportation Secretary stated that the administration expected to issue regulatory guidelines for autonomous vehicles within six months. The guidance would focus on the functions that autonomous vehicles should include to be considered safe. In order to aid the development of new safety features, the National Highway and Transportation Safety Administration may also exempt up to 2,500 vehicles from certain auto safety standards for up to two years.
