CVSA and CVBMC Submit Comments on Applying the FMVSS to ADS Vehicles

On Feb. 13, CVSA, on behalf of the Commercial Vehicle Brake Manufacturers Council (CVBMC),  comments in response to NHTSA’s  on its research project evaluating the FMVSS to determine how they apply to innovative vehicle designs, particularly those incorporating ADS, as well as potential challenges these vehicles may face in demonstrating conformance. CVSA and CVBMC commented that additional work is necessary throughout the FMVSS to address systems that employ electronic controlled brake systems and urged the agency that any changes be uniform across all FMVSS to ensure that the resulting regulations are consistent for industry compliance.
