NHTSA Autonomous Vehicle Rules Take An Unexpected Turn

Law360, New York ( July 13, 2016, 11:03 AM EDT) -- As part of its mission to save lives, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has been working to make autonomous vehicles (AV) a reality. The NHTSA's reason for pushing this technology forward is very compelling: more than 32,000 people died last year in auto accidents, and 94 percent of those fatal crashes are blamed on human error. Or as the NHTSA Administrator Mark Rosekind, explains, that's like having a fully loaded 747 crash every week. With no survivors. [1]. . .
