AAMVA Guidlines for Testing and Deployment of Autmoated Vehicles

This session will provide a detailed overview of the AAMVA publication titled Safe Testing and Deployment of Vehicles Equipped with Automated Driving Systems Edition 3. This guidance document that will be reviewed provides assistance and recommendations for the regulation of testing, piloting, and deployment of automated vehicles. As there are no national standards for regulating automated vehicle operations, this guidance serves as a benchmark for oversight of safe testing and deployment of these vehicles. This overview will provide an in-depth discussion on guidance given for the main areas of consideration consisting of the vehicle, operator, and law enforcement.
