DATES: The meeting will take place on April 8, 2016. A transcript of the meeting may be obtained from the court Reporter. Written comments may be filed on or before May 9, 2016. A separate meeting will be held on the West Coast at a later date.
EXCERPTS: NHTSA is seeking public input on those aspects of automated vehicle (AV) systems that would benefit from operational guidelines. For example, of high importance to the Agency is information on the roadway scenarios and operational environments highly automated vehicles will need to address and the associated design and evaluation processes and methods needed to ensure that AV systems can detect and appropriately react to these scenarios such that a high level of safety is assured when these systems are deployed on US roadways. Also of interest would be input on aspects of automated vehicle technology that may not be suitable or ready for guidelines. For these areas, information would be useful on alternative approaches to assure safety.
