May 18, 2016 University of Maryland, College Park
The focus of this
workshop is to identify key principles the states will need to wrestle with in
order to craft effective policy to enable the safe operation of advanced
automated vehicles (sometimes called autonomous, self-driving, or driverless
vehicles) for common operation across all states. This is critical to insure
safe operations, efficient travel, and environmental benefits at the
introduction of automated vehicles as well as to speed the deployment of future
advances.
