United States: NHTSA and DOT advance on autonomous vehicles
On October 31, 2026, the NHTSA proposed new lighting requirements intended to visually signal to the public that a vehicle is operating in autonomous mode. This measure is part of the regulatory discussion on robotaxis in the United States. On November 2, 2026, the US Department of Transportation initiated a procedure aimed at removing regulatory obstacles to the operation of driverless autonomous vehicles on the country's roads. These two initiatives illustrate the evolution of the US regulatory framework for autonomous vehicles.
