What Self-Driving Cars Reveal About Regulation

What the autonomous vehicle regulatory process reveals about how regulators handle uncertainty

The Process

The autonomous vehicle regulatory process -- the specific approach that the NHTSA, the California DMV, and the various state regulatory bodies have taken to the specific challenge of regulating a technology whose safety case is developed through the deployment that the regulation is supposed to govern -- is the accountability journalism of the regulatory process for a technology whose characteristics are genuinely novel.

The Tension

The tension: the traditional regulatory approach requires demonstrated safety before market authorization. The autonomous vehicle safety case requires the deployment data that only market operation can generate. The specific resolution of this tension -- the permitting frameworks that allow limited deployment with specific safety reporting requirements -- represents the regulatory innovation that the technology requires and the specific oversight gap that the innovation leaves.
