What Federal Framework for the Testing and Deployment of Highly Automated Vehicles - Principles from the SELF DRIVE Act and AV START Act, Including Federal Preemption, Cybersecurity, Privacy, and Exemption Authority requires
This framework establishes federal oversight of highly automated vehicle (HAV) safety standards, preempting state-level regulation of HAV design and performance. It mandates that manufacturers submit Safety Evaluation Reports (SERs) including cybersecurity and privacy plans under NHTSA authority, based on principles from the proposed SELF DRIVE Act (H.R. 3388) and AV START Act (S. 1885), particularly Section 5 of the SELF DRIVE Act and Section 7 of the AV START Act.
