Auto safety regulator to begin collecting data on automated-driving crashes

The Trump-era National Highway Safety Administration will be remembered for what it didn’t do: offer clear rules for deploying autonomous driving technology. Tesla has been the beneficiary.

An incident involving an automated driving system that was operating within 30 seconds of a crash must be reported if anyone is sent to a hospital, if a vehicle is towed away, if an air bag is deployed or if a pedestrian, bicyclist or other road user is involved. Indeed, the order itself says that “identification of safety defects does not and should not wait for injuries or deaths to occur.” It lists sensors and software algorithms among the technologies that require some level of oversight.
