"NHTSA's reaction to EasyMile should be the rule and not the exception."
"continue to work with all affected parties, including EasyMile and local authorities, to evaluate potential future vehicle operations, consistent with applicable legal requirements and public safety."
"[NHTSA is] viewing it as letting technology lead, but I think in many ways, technology is waiting for that direction from the federal agency,"
NHTSA will continue coordination with EasyMile and local authorities to evaluate potential future vehicle operations under legal and public-safety requirements. The agency has issued voluntary guidance for self-driving technology and has requested—but not required—safety documentation from developers; some submissions resemble marketing rather than technical safety evidence. Congressional direction on self-driving regulation remains unresolved after a failed Senate effort, with new draft legislation in progress. The NTSB concluded shared blame in a fatal Tesla Autopilot crash and criticized federal handling, saying technology often waits for clearer direction from federal authorities. EasyMile shuttles operate in demonstration projects across 16 U.S. cities.
