2127-AM19 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 Specialized Motor Vehicles With Automated Driving Systems

This notice seeks comment on establishing regulatory requirements specific to classes of specialized motor vehicles equipped with automated driving systems (ADS). 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 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 will consider comments received from this notice, agency research, stakeholder engagement, and internal agency analysis to identify appropriate requirements that maintain the agency's continued focus on safety while enabling innovative vehicle designs.
