NHTSA Tells Autonomous Tech Companies They Need to Report Crashes
More than 100 companies are working on self-driving and driver-assist technology. Now all of them have to tell the feds if an accident occurs when it's in use.

  • Companies working on autonomous and driver assistance technologies did not need to report any incidents to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) about times when their vehicles did not work as advertised. Now they do.
  • For at least the next three years, any of the more than 100 companies working on autonomous (AV) and driver assist (ADAS) technologies will need to file reports about any crash that resulted in more than a minor scrape, as well as monthly reports if they have zero crashes.
  • NHTSA will collect this information and release it to the public, but there are carveouts for legitimate confidential information.


    • There are more than 100 companies testing autonomous vehicles or autonomous driving technologies in the U.S. This little tidbit comes from a new Standing General Order issued by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) that requires all of these companies to let the federal government know when any of their AVs are involved in a crash more serious than a fender bender. This represents a policy change from the previous presidential administration, when the Department of Transportation said it didn't want to discourage innovation with too many regulations.

    NHTSA sent its order to 108 autonomous technology companies, ranging from Aimotive to Zoox, to let them know that they are now responsible for submitting detailed crash information when there's been a crash and a car's Automated Driving Systems (ADS) or Level 2 Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) was engaged. Level 2 ADAS includes many common safety features on today's vehicles, including things like lane-keeping assist and adaptive cruise control and branded collections of these technologies including Tesla's Autopilot and GM's Super Cruise.
