Abstract
This factsheet identifies potential new tools, authorities, and resources that could aid the safe deployment of new automated technologies by enabling the Department of Transportation to be more flexible. These new tools include expanding vehicle testing methods to create test environments more representative of real-world roadways, system safety, and enhanced data collection. These tools were developed with the anticipation that current policy tools may be insufficient to ensure that automated vehicles are introduced safely, and to realize the full safety promise of new technologies.
