Abstract:

The Volpe National Transportation Systems Center (Volpe) reviewed the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs) to identify compliance and enforcement challenges related to the operation of automated commercial vehicles (CMVs) in interstate commerce. Volpe found several provisions in the FMCSRs that might present challenges for automated CMVs that continue to require a human driver. Automated CMVs that either require an onboard (non-driving) human technician or do not require an onboard human at all are likely to face more significant compliance challenges, though the nature and extent of these challenges depend on how key terms and applicability statements are interpreted.
