NHTSA Does Not Want Self-Driving Cars To Drive By Themselves

I'm driven Everybody seems to be on the bandwagon for self-driving cars, everybody except the NHTSA. In  new guidelines,  the NHTSA urges states to allow use of self-driving cars "only for testing and requiring safeguards to ensure they can be taken over by a driver in the case of malfunction," the Detroit News writes. "We believe there are a number of technological issues as well as human performance issues that must be addressed before self-driving vehicles can be made widely available," NHTSA said. "Self-driving vehicle technology is not yet at the stage of sophistication or demonstrated safety capability that it should be authorized for use by members of the public for general driving purposes." NHTSA wants test drivers to get special licenses. If a state was to allow use of self-driving vehicles by the public, the agency urged them to require a special license and to mandate that person sit in the driver's seat, ready to take over. from The Truth About Cars http://www.thetruthaboutcars.com
