Abstract:The goals of this project were to undergo a systematic review of automated vehicle technologies with a focus on policy
implications, methods of implementation, regulation by states, and developments occurring on legal fronts, ultimately creating a
set of policy recommendations and questions for further research.
This report provides recommendations for the state of Iowa over the next five years:
• Encouraging automation by preparing government agencies, infrastructure, leveraging procurement, and advocating
for safety mandates
• Adjusting long range planning processes by identifying and incorporating a wide range of new automation scenarios
• Beginning to analyze and, as necessary, clarify existing law as it apples to automated driving
• Auditing existing law
• Enforcing existing laws
• Ensuring vehicle owners and operators bear the true cost of driving
• Embracing flexibility by giving agencies the statutory authority to achieve regulatory goals through different means,
allowing them to make small-scale exemptions to statutory regimes and clarifying their enforcement discretion
• Thinking locally and preparing publically
• Sharing the steps being taken to promote (as well as to anticipate and regulate) automated driving
• Instituting public education about automated vehicle technologies
