U.S. Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx told Reuters he expects automakers and tech companies will comply with voluntary guidelines his department issued last month for autonomous vehicles.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), an agency of Foxx’s department, has called on automakers to voluntarily submit details of self-driving vehicle systems to regulators in a 15 point “safety assessment” and urged states to defer to the federal government on most vehicle regulations.
