Forbes reports that NHTSA’s proposed safety regulations, which would use vehicle-to-vehicle radio communications to “automatically send vehicle sensor data…to other vehicles to alert drivers to potential crash situations,” could hasten the rate at which autonomous vehicles “become viable…because the chief impediment to the viability of autonomous vehicles are fears that they are not safe enough.” However, the “proposed rule makings” of federal agencies “progress incrementally,” so the “full benefits” of V2V technology “won’t be present until all vehicles are subject to the same regulations.”
From the news release of the American Association for Justice.
