Per [0] they are allowed to drive in the US, and do not have higher accident rates than hearing drivers[1]. Also, "There are now devices available that can be used in r cars that react to the frequency of sirens and which emit visual warnings of approaching emergency vehicles to assist deaf drivers and those with hearing loss" (which could presumably also "assist" self-driving cars).

[1] This web site's bona fides aren't clear, but its mission does not seem to specifically include advocating for the deaf, so there's no obvious reason for the information presented to be biased in favor of the deaf.
