2127-AM70 202504 Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions 2127 National Highway Traffic Safety Administration NHTSA 2100 Department of Transportation DOT Modernization of FMVSS 108 to accommodate ADS

The Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard that regulates vehicle lighting (FMVSS 108) includes requirements that assume a human driver and manual controls, references the location of a human driver, or specifies the operation of manual controls to effectuate testing for compliance with the standards. This rulemaking would address the applicability of the standard for vehicles that are equipped with automated driving systems (ADS) and lack manual controls. This rulemaking would maintain the level of safety performance required by the standard.
