NHTSA Demands Autonomous Cars Yield to Emergency Vehicles

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has issued an urgent directive demanding autonomous vehicle developers fix failures that block emergency vehicles. The agency administrator, Jonathan Morrison, sent a formal letter stating such interference is unacceptable.

NHTSA emphasizes that emergency scenes are not exceptions in real urban driving and requires immediate technological responses to failures detected in the US where autonomous vehicles have obstructed access for ambulances, police, and firefighters. playerbros.org
