The National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA) issued final rules that eliminated the need for
that eliminate the need for automated vehicle manufacturers to equip fully autonomous vehicles with manual driving controls to meet crash standards,. In other words, there’s no need for autonomous vehicles to have steering wheels, pedals, or other human controls if they are fully autonomous.
“For vehicles designed to be solely operated by an ADS, manually operated driving controls are logically unnecessary,” the NHTSA noted. “This rule is part of NHTSA’s ongoing efforts to ensure the public’s safety as vehicle automation evolves. NHTSA is actively engaged in monitoring and overseeing the safe testing and deployment of these vehicles. NHTSA’s approach to advanced vehicle technologies prioritizes safety across multiple areas, including data collection and analysis, research, human factors, rulemaking and enforcement.
“This new rule is an important step, establishing robust safety standards for ADS-equipped vehicles.” “Occupant-less vehicles are designed for the transportation of property, not people, and have no DSPs. The agency has determined that the original safety need of the 200- Series FMVSSs no longer exists when there are no occupants to protect. A more fulsome discussion of this topic is provided in section V of this preamble.”
