US NHTSA GUIDANCE
In September 2017, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) issued A Vision for Safety 2.0, which updated its voluntary guidance for automated and self-driving vehicles from September 2016. The Vision for Safety 2.0 offers suggestions on 12 priority safety elements to support the industry in developing best practices in the design, development, testing, and deployment of automated vehicles: System safety; Operational design domain; Object and event detection and response; Fallback (minimal risk condition); Validation methods; Human machine interface; Vehicle cybersecurity; Crashworthiness; Post-crash automated driving system behavior; Data recording; Consumer education and training; and Federal, state, and local laws.
