Is each car going to have to pass a driving test - how is the inspector meant to know if a computer is checking it's mirrors and indicating correctly!? ;-)

- dragonwriter 11y agoThis seems to have to do with federal law which underlies NHTSA's regulation on required safety equipment, not laws regarding licensing, etc. Without something like this, regardless of state laws on autonomous vehicles, all US street-legal vehicles, even if fully autonomous, and even if the state had no requirements for human control as an option or backup, would have to be equipped for human control. Who state law governing things like driver responsibility would treat as the driver of a fully autonomous vehicle -- and whether they would allow such a thing at all -- is a separate issue.
