While the world watches and waits, the United States has yet to successfully pass legislation in its ongoing attempt to discover how to properly regulate self-driving cars. The goal of the consortium will be to expedite standards development and facilitate rule making.
Concerns about autonomous systems have increased following a fatal crash of an Uber self-driving vehicle in 2018 and two crashes of the highly automated Boeing 787 MAX.
