GM’s Autonomous Vehicle Application Advancing for Public Comment

A General Motors application to produce up to 2,500 autonomous vehicles yearly is advancing to the Federal Register for comment, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration announced Friday (see 1810040043). GM seeks a two-year waiver to build vehicles without steering wheels, foot pedals and other conventional automotive equipment. Nuro filed a separate application to build 2,500 automated delivery vehicles without requirements for rearview mirrors, a standard windshield and standard cameras for rear visibility.
