IIHS comment on the Federal Automated Vehicles Policy focused on 5 areas
NHTSA should give more guidance about the contents of the Safety Assessment Letter
Vehicle performance guidance should be explicitly appliedto Level 2 systems
Guidance should recommend that driving automation systems not rely on users to limit their use within the operational design domain
NHTSA should collect information about which vehicles are equipped with driving automation systems
Guidance should encourage addressing possible misuse errors primarily through intuitive design

Technology will fail in unexpected ways
![Page 23: Policy considerations for driving automation technology · iihs.org Policy considerations for driving automation technology Northeast Autonomous Vehicle Summit Mystic, CT March 30,](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022040921/5e99ec9c1437ea52f00c446f/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Additional policy considerations for driving automation technology
The acceptance of driving automation technology, like driver assistance systems, will vary among drivers– Benefits of driving automation are likely overestimated in near term
Drivers may not distinguish among levels of autonomy or follow intended use– As level 2 systems proliferate and become more dependable, they
will be treated as level 3 or 4
Disengagements should be clear and inadvertent driver disengagement should be difficult
System disengagement should begin to slow the vehicle until driver demonstrates control
