Next Steps for State and Local Automated Vehicle Policy: From Standards to Roadways

This session will unpack some of the questions outstanding for AV policy. Panelists will identify policy gaps for AVs, and how local, state and federal agencies can address those – perhaps in collaboration – perhaps on parallel tracks – perhaps separately. To date states and cities have been playing a unique role in AV testing and deployment, and issues of preemption remain outstanding. Speakers will discuss how cities have led in AV regulation and how the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is advancing after recent updates to the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) for automated vehicles.
