The US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has released a new report suggesting it is unopposed to the concept of cars without steering wheels populating the roads. While the actual legislation is still evolving, it appears to be a positive step for Level 4 autonomous driving. The Center of Auto Safety has criticized the NHTSA’s outlook, however, claiming the agency is placing industry first and people second.
Despite deaths, injuries, and crashes involving a variety of semi-autonomous and autonomous vehicle technology across the country, DOT continues to insist that eliminating regulation is the way to achieve safety. Despite cybersecurity vulnerabilities continuing to dominate headlines, and rising public concern surrounding driverless cars, NHTSA is still failing to require the submission of any information about the most basic level of safety prior to this technology being deployed on our streets and in our neighborhoods.
