NHTSA mandates crash reports from automated vehicle companies
JUNE 29, 2021
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration will require crash reports for automated vehicles, the agency announced on Tuesday, June 29.
NHTSA’s standing general order applies to manufacturers and the companies that operate vehicles equipped with Level 2 advanced driver assistance systems or Levels 3-5 automated driving systems.
“NHTSA’s core mission is safety,” NHTSA acting Administrator Steven Cliff said in a news release. “By mandating crash reporting, the agency will have access to critical data that will quickly help identify safety issues that could emerge in these automated systems. In fact, gathering data will help instill public confidence that the federal government is closely overseeing the safety of automated vehicles.”
According to NHTSA, the reporting obligations in the order apply only to vehicle and equipment manufacturers and operators of these automated vehicles. The companies included are specified in the order. NHTSA says the order does not apply to individual consumers or other entities, such as vehicle dealers or drivers.
