According to a Reuters report, the California Public Utilities Regulatory Agency said on Friday that it would allow self-driving car companies to transport passengers in the presence of driverless vehicles. When the industry faces a more rigorous review due to safety issues, this is a self-driving car. A developer's progress.
The new rules proposed by the California Public Utilities Commission cover the use of transportation companies such as taxi applications and have issued a clear statement allowing companies like Alphabet, Waymo and General Motors to provide passengers with self-driving car services without the need for someone to sit down. The above supervision - at present, this is the situation where most automatic vehicles are on the road.
The California Department of Motor Vehicles had previously issued a rule allowing autopilot testing, which will take effect this week.
The committee said that its proposed rules supplement existing motor vehicle regulations but provide additional protection for passengers.
The proposal will be voted on at the European Commission meeting next month. This proposal will clear the way for more auto-driving car companies to test and make the public more familiar with driverless cars. This state has already carried out the automotive industry. Strict supervision.
At the same time, after a crash in Arizona, regulators across the country conducted more rigorous investigations of self-driving cars.
Last month, a Uber buggy running in driverless mode collided with a 49-year-old woman. This was the first fatal accident caused by a driverless car.
Uber suspended the operation of the self-driving car and the accident was still in the investigation of the federal security officer.
The proposed California regulations require that companies carry at least an automatic vehicle test permit at the Motor Vehicle Authority (DMV) for at least 90 days before carrying passengers.
The service must be free - the company does not allow passengers to pay - passengers must be at least 18 years old, and are not allowed to carry passengers to the airport.
The proposal also stipulates that the company should submit regular reports to the regulatory agencies, including the mileage of autonomous driving vehicles, the number of orders completed, and all the disabled passengers they serve.
