Automated vehicles will revolutionize the automotive industry

Jones Day, March 13, 2017

Labeled “highly automated vehicles” (“HAV”) by DOT, these vehicles will operate through a network of highly sophisticated technology carefully developed by reputable manufacturers who see the vision of the future. California, Michigan, and other states will play a significant role in the development of HAVs; as of February 9, 2017, the California Department of Motor Vehicles (“Cal. DMV”) has issued autonomous vehicle testing permits to, among others, Volkswagen, Mercedes Benz, Google, Delphi Motors, Tesla, Bosch, Nissan, General Motors, BMW, Honda, and Ford. Several other states have raced to follow suit with similar legislation, passing preliminary regulations governing the testing of HAVs.
