UN and NHTSA Outline Safety Standards for Level 4 Autonomous Driving

The United Nations and the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration are defining specific safety requirements for Level 4 autonomous driving, which operates under specific conditions without human intervention. This is advancing the development direction for automakers and could promote the普及 of driverless taxis.

Why it matters. Automakers and the automotive industry are gaining clearer direction for developing fully autonomous vehicles, which could significantly impact urban transportation.
