Accelerating Autonomous Vehicles: New Safety Standards and Deployment
This act aims to facilitate the introduction of driverless vehicles, such as autonomous cars, onto the roads. It modifies current safety regulations, which were designed for human-driven vehicles, to better suit new technologies. As a result, we can expect safer and more efficient travel in the future, as well as new opportunities in transportation.
Key points
Easier Certification: Vehicle safety regulations will be adapted for driverless cars, speeding up their market introduction.
Deployment Roadmap: A plan will be developed for large-scale deployment of autonomous vehicles, potentially impacting the availability of new transportation services.
Safety Focus: The act aims to ensure new technologies are safe and potentially improve road safety compared to human drivers.
