DOT Releases Automated Vehicle Guidance

On Oct. 4, DOT released “Preparing for the Future of Transportation: Automated Vehicles 3.0” (AV 3.0), new federal guidance for automated vehicles that builds upon—but does not replace—voluntary guidance provided in “Automated Driving Systems 2.0: A Vision for Safety.”

“The safe integration of automated vehicle technology into our transportation system will increase productivity, facilitate freight movement and create new types of jobs,” said DOT Secretary Elaine L. Chao.

AV 3.0 incorporates the results of extensive stakeholder engagement to provide updated voluntary guidance and policy considerations for a range of industry sectors, including manufacturers and technology developers, infrastructure owners and operators, commercial motor carriers, bus transit and state and local governments. It provides new multimodal safety guidance and outlines a process for working with DOT as technology evolves.

The draft guidance will be published in the Federal Register for public review and comment. More information can be found here.
