The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is updating safety rules for cars that have automated driving systems, which are vehicles that can drive themselves with little or no human control. These updated rules will make sure that self-driving cars meet the same basic safety requirements as regular cars, but with new standards designed specifically for how these automated systems work. This matters because as self-driving cars become more common on roads, the government needs to set clear safety standards to protect drivers, passengers, and other people on the road.
