Last year, New York City said it was moving forward with a federally managed
programme to design and test so-called connected car technology, a key building
block of autonomous technology. Companies in New York must have a $5 million
insurance policy, submit reports to the state, be overseen by the state police
and pay the state police for supervising each test.,
Toyota Motor Corp and
Waymo, the self-driving car unit of Google parent company Alphabet Inc, have all
suggested changes to California&fan
motors Manufacturers39;s latest proposed policy to allow real-world use and
testing of vehicles without steering wheels. Thirteen states and the District of
Columbia have passed legislation related to autonomous vehicles, according to
the National Conference of State Legislatures.
California's autonomous vehicle
testing regulations went into effect in September 2014, but the road to a full
rollout has not always been smooth.. Up to 8,000 vehicles, including taxis,
trucks, cars and buses, are also being outfitted with technology that will let
them communicate with each other.Testing also cannot take place in construction
or school zones - which take up huge swaths of land in New York City - and must
adhere to a predesignated route shared in advance with the state.Supporters say
it can reduce driver error and make roads safer and more efficient.
We are
taking a careful yet balanced approach to incorporating autonomous vehicles on
our roads to reduce dangerous driving habits, decrease the number of accidents
and save lives on New York roadways," Cuomo said in a statement.The city is
installing special traffic lights, which can connect to vehicles wirelessly,
throughout midtown Manhattan and parts of Brooklyn.New York is accepting
applications from companies interested in testing the vehicles through a
year-long pilot programme.Companies developing self-driving car technology,
including Apple Inc, Tesla Inc, Ford Motor Co, Uber Technologies Inc [UBER.The
crowded race to develop self-driving technology has sped ahead despite
controversy caused by a handful of accidents, the idea of not having humans
controlling vehicles physically, and new infrastructure needs.New York's
programme requires manufacturers to adhere to a number of oversight measures and
restrictions that could raise objections from an industry that prefers private,
real-world testing.New York is accepting applications from companies interested
in testing the vehicles through a year-long pilot programme.
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo said on Wednesday that the state will
allow testing of autonomous vehicles on # public roads, potentially leaving
perplexed New Yorkers wondering who to flip off when they jaywalk in front of a
car without a driver
