BREAKING: NHTSA has filed a proposed rule to modernize FMVSS 108, the federal vehicle lighting standard, for autonomous vehicles that have no steering wheel or pedals.
• Turn signal, hazard, and high-beam control requirements would apply only to vehicles with manual driving controls
• Adds optional cyan "ADS marker lamps" so people can tell a car is driving itself
• Publishes Oct 26, with a 30-day comment period
Another federal barrier for vehicles like Cybercab is starting to come down.
