We regularly hear that automakers are experiencing prototypes of vehicles with autopilot on US roads, such activity is permitted only in a few states, and the requirements for such tests requirements vary. As reports Computerworld, US Department of Transportation is ready to initiate work on the establishment of common rules for testing on the roads of the country and the US authorities are going to spend the next four years to fund similar work up to $ 4 billion.
American Mold department is ready to mediate between the authorities of the United States "on the ground" and automakers, to create uniform rules for the whole country testing robo car on public roads, as well as to take into account the interests of all stakeholders. Volvo company , which is about to begin similar tests at Sweden as early as next year, said recently that without adequate legislative initiatives the US may lose its status as a leader in the field of full-scale test car with automatic control system.
Along the way, representatives of Google, as reports Reuters, expressed genuine surprise discussing plans for the corporation to establish a consortium with automakers interested in the production of cars with autopilot.
