ITS America comments to NHTSA on Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards and impact to automated vehicle design
Thank you for the opportunity to provide comments to the January 18, 2018 Notice Removing Regulatory Barriers for Vehicles With Automated Driving Systems. The Intelligent Transportation Society of America (ITS America) believes that continued National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) support for research and guidance is important. The association commends NHTSA for reaching out to industry to understand where there are regulatory barriers in the existing Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) to the testing, compliance certification and compliance verification of motor vehicles with Automated Driving Systems (ADSs) and certain unconventional interior designs.
