The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), under President Trump’s Transportation Secretary, Sean Duffy, has announced the agency will ease regulatory hurdles for autonomous cars in the U.S. amid a domestic Robotaxi push. The proposed amendments affect three Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards.
The news follows Duffy’s earlier announcement to ease regulatory hurdles by providing some exemptions for domestic autonomous vehicle (AV) manufacturers to report crash data and safety reports to the NHTSA, an exception previously enjoyed by imported vehicles.
