On December 19, 2024, the Chief Counsel of the U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA or the Agency) signed a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) in which the Agency proposed a sweeping voluntary program relating to the evaluation and oversight of motor vehicles equipped with automated driving systems (ADS). NHTSA defines ADS-equipped vehicles, which can also be called autonomous vehicles (AVs), as vehicles designed to fully perform the driving task without any expectation of an attentive human driver.
