Join Thomas Wasson on this episode of Truck Tech as he delves into the complex world of emerging autonomous vehicle (AV) regulations with expert Adam Raviv. Adam, Global Co-Chair of Sidley's Automotive and Mobility Practice and former Chief Counsel at the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), provides unparalleled insights into the current regulatory landscape for autonomous trucks and robotaxis.

Discover why there's a "Wild West" of state and local rules, the implications of existing federal motor vehicle safety standards, and the critical role of safety cases in AV development. Adam breaks down how agencies like NHTSA and the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) interact, creating a multi-headed regulatory challenge for companies.

Learn about:

  • The current state of federal AV regulations and the voluntary AV STEP program.
  • Why companies are building redundant safety systems and conducting extensive third-party validations.
  • The stark differences and unique challenges in deploying autonomous trucks versus robotaxis.
  • The intense public scrutiny and viral potential of AV incidents, and how it shapes industry behavior.

This is a must-watch for anyone in the trucking industry, autonomous technology sector, or simply interested in the future of transportation and its legal framework.
