In the White House would like to help solve the problems with unmanned vehicles, while Obama left the presidency
About a week ago, Secretary of State Transportation Secretary Anthony Fox told Re / Code that his department intended to use the time when Barack Obama was still president and help solve a number of problems related to unmanned vehicles. First of all, we are talking about legislative issues that regulate issues such as the production of such cars, and how they will have to drive on public roads.
As a result, Anthony Fox should hold a special meeting with manufacturers at a special event in Detroit during the North American International Auto Show, where he will tell what the White House intends to undertake in order to “speed up the appearance of unmanned vehicles.” The meeting will be top-level, as the head of NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, NHTSA) Mark Rosekind will take part in it directly. So far, no information on the details of this meeting, the media have not reported.
It is curious that last December, Rosekind declared that he was in favor of a flexible approach to the norms of legislation governing the movement of unmanned vehicles. At the same time, his department still does not have a final decision on the proposal of the State of California, which prohibits the movement of an unmanned vehicle without a driver, ready to take control at any time. In 2013, NHTSA’s view was consistent with that of the California Governor on this issue, but now, as Rosekind says, this approach is outdated and should be revised.
Judging by the official reports of manufacturers of unmanned vehicles, then things are actually going quite well. For example, from the Google report it follows that in 2015, during the testing of unmanned vehicles, 272 errors occurred, and in 69 cases a person had to intervene in the control of the car. By the number of errors, Mercedes-Benz leads the way - their system recorded a 1051 error. Best of all, judging by the report, the situation is with Tesla - autonomous electric cars Ilona Mask have not recorded a single error.
