Insight May 25, 2022 Since 2012, the federal government has issued voluntary guidelines to enable state governments to create statutory frameworks for autonomous vehicles (AVs) to permit and/or encourage research and development in self-driving technologies. Over the past decade, this state-focused approach has led 40 states and Washington, DC, to enact various levels of AV legislation allowing for off-road testing, fully autonomous driving on public roads, and/or for-profit on-demand transportation services. In January 2020, the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) issued an updated and broad voluntary AV regulatory framework, “Ensuring U.S. Leadership…
Despite all the promise, a future filled with self-driving cars still seems like a distant dream. But U.S. and Chinese tech giants, automakers, and startups, including Ford, GM, Baidu, Tesla, and Alphabet, have invested billions of dollars and years of research and development to make it a reality.

Silvestro is president, CEO, and chairman of SyTrue, a healthcare-focused artificial intelligence/natural language processing company.…
