Part 8/10:
Challenges of Regulatory Frameworks
A coherent and standardized regulatory framework for autonomous vehicles remains an elusive goal in the U.S. Currently, the fragmented state-level regulations hinder innovation and deployment speed. There is optimism, however, that a federal framework could facilitate growth, enable autonomous vehicle development, and provide a clearer path for companies to navigate compliance without being impeded by varying state laws.
The discussions among industry experts suggest an overarching belief that robust federal regulations could eliminate redundancies and accelerate the pathway to widespread adoption of autonomous driving technologies.
