In a Boon for Tesla, Feds Weaken Rules for Reporting on Self-Driving

Car and technology manufacturers The developers who are experiencing and publishing the advanced leadership features of sovereignty and advanced assistants will not have to report a lot of general disruption to the federal government, according to a new framework issued by the US Department of Transport today.

These movements are a blessing for self -driving car makers and broader vehicle technology, which complained that the requirements of reporting federal disruption are very stressful and frequent. But the new rules will limit the available information for those who decline and study independent vehicles and the advantages of marriage from the driver-technological developments related to depth public safety, but companies that protect them often from public opinion because they involve royal systems spent by companies on billions to develop them.

The Goovernment’s New Orders Limit “One of the Only Sources of Publicly Available Data that We Have on Incidents Involving Level 2 Systems,” Says Sam Abulsamid, who Writes about the Self-Driving-Vehicle Industry and Is the Vice Practing of Marketing at Telemetry, a Michigan Research Fairm, Referring to Driver-SSISTANCE FEATERES Such as Tesla’s Full Self-Drowing (Supervised), General Motors’ Super Cruise, and Ford’s Blue Cruise. These incidents, as observed, are only “more common”.

The new rules of companies allow to protect from public relations some details of the breakdown, including issuing automation included in accidents and “accounts” about accidents, on the basis that this information contains “secret commercial information”. Self -driving developers, such as Waymo and Zoox, will not need to report incidents that include property damage less than $ 1,000, if the accident does not involve the default of the self -driving car on its own or hit a vehicle or another object. (That is, for example, federal general reports on some simple barrier competitions in which another car affects another car. But companies still have to report accidents in California, which have stricter regulations about self -driving.)

In a change, makers of advanced driver assistance features, such as full driving of the self, must report accidents only if they lead to deaths, hospitals, or airbag deployment, or a strike on a “user on the weak road”, such as pedestrians or bicycles-but you are no longer forced to report the accident if the car that involves a dam is only.

“This seems to be the door to a large number of additional reports,” says William Wallace, who calls for safety for consumer reports. “It is a great sculpture.” Changes move in the opposite direction of what his organization defended: federal rules that fight the direction of “reporting major accidents” between advanced car technology makers.

The new DOT framework will also allow auto manufacturers to test self -driving technology with more vehicles that do not meet all federal safety standards as part of a new exemption. This process, which is currently being used for foreign cars imported to the United States, will be included, but is now expanded to those locally made, a “repetitive review” “is the comprehensive safety of the car.” The process can be used, for example, to agree more quickly on vehicles that do not come with guidance wheels, brake pedals, rear vision mirrors, or other model safety features that are meaningless when driving cars by computers.
