Automated and non-automated vehicles are sharing the roadway which create challenges for the safe integration of automated driver system (ADS)-equipped vehicles. Motor vehicle and law enforcement agencies need to adapt as technologies advance and ADS-equipped vehicles become available. Manufacturers and other technology companies are testing ADS-equipped vehicles on public roadways which prompts the need for jurisdictions to explore ways to regulate this emerging technology to ensure safety of the motoring public. Some jurisdictions have begun to adopt regulations, therefore, there is a continued need for an updated framework to support a consistent regulatory approach.
