Experte schlägt Fahrertest für autonome Fahrzeuge in den USA vor

Submission Statement

Although we don’t know when full level 5 autonomous driving will arrive, plenty (perhaps the majority) of taxi journeys can be done at level 4 driving, and there are lots of car makers who have achieved that level.

BYD & Uber are in the process of rolling out 100,000 robo-taxis in Singapore and Abu Dhabi. Tesla has said that the future of the company may rely on how it does with robotaxis. Waymo is preparing to ramp up its deployments in the US.

So it might come as a surprise to many to know that there are no federal safety laws or regulations when it comes to robot vehicles, just a few state ones. Tying their performance to existing human driving tests makes sense to an extent. However, it is an approach that has flaws too. Just because you pass a test once, doesn’t mean you are always going to be safe.
