The National Institute of Standards and Technology plans a virtual workshop March 8-9 on the development of standards and performance metrics for on-road autonomous vehicles, said Thursday's Federal Register. The event starts at 9 a.m. EST. "On-road autonomous vehicles are projected to influence key aspects of everyday life including transportation, goods delivery, manufacturing, public safety, and security," said the notice. "However, autonomous vehicles can pose a risk in the event of unexpected system performance."
