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
