2127-AM18 202010 The Regulatory Plan and the Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions 2127 National Highway Traffic Safety Administration NHTSA 2100 Department of Transportation DOT Passenger-less Delivery Vehicles Equipped With Automated Driving Systems

This action seeks comments on amending regulations that may be necessary to facilitate the certification of motor vehicles without a passenger compartment. The agency published a Federal Register notice on January 18, 2018 requesting comment on existing regulatory barriers that may block the introduction and certification of Automated Driving System (ADS)-equipped vehicles, particularly those without human controls. In response to comments received from the January notice, the agency initiated this ANPRM to begin the rulemaking process. NHTSA, while continuing its focus on safety, will consider comments received from this notice, agency research, stakeholder engagement, and internal agency analysis for identifying regulatory barriers.
