The authorities require, at present, there is a person in the vehicle that can act in an emergency, but most of the time the cars operating in automatic system.
The National Security Agency Traffic Highway (NHTSA, for its acronym in English) said in a letter that believes that the “driver” is the system of autonomous driving developed by technology company and not any of the occupants of the vehicle .
“We agree with Google that your vehicle does not have a driver in the traditional sense in which vehicles were drivers for over 100 years,” said the regulator.
the decision is a big step for many companies they envisage creating driverless cars because allow them to leave the autopilot to control the vehicle during a tour 100% . However, they have yet to jump a lot of obstacles, such as waiting to determine who will be responsible in case of an accident.
Chris Urmson, one of the project leaders driverless vehicles, sent a letter to NHTSA last November asking him to reconsider his interpretation of autonomous cars. NHTSA said that from now on, considers cars Google legal drivers.
The White House last month forward work with car companies and state governments to develop a policy to accelerate debut driverless cars and revealed its intention to invest USD 4,000 million in the next decade to make the project reality.
the McKinsey says the software will be the main differentiating factor between cars in the future and forecast up to 15% of new vehicles could be completely autonomous 2030.
