NHTSA Proposes Flexible Safety and Lighting Standards for Automated Vehicles
NHTSA proposed changes to federal safety standards for vehicles designed to operate exclusively through automated driving systems, including revisions to FMVSS No. 108 and possible exemptions for selected lighting and driver-alert requirements. The proposal is a rulemaking, not a contract opportunity; manufacturers and suppliers should assess potential design, testing, and compliance effects and consider submitting technical comments.
