Autonomous Vehicles in California Bernard C. Soriano, PhD Deputy Director, California DMV
California at a glance Approximately 38 million people Over 25 million driver licenses and identification cards Over 32 million actively registered vehicles Over 73 percent commute to work alone Over 172 thousand public road miles Over 323 billion vehicle miles travelled per year Variety of terrain and weather conditions
California Legislation Senate Bill 1298 As soon as practicable, but no later than Jan. 1, 2015, DMV must adopt regulations setting forth requirements for: Manufacturers testing of autonomous vehicles on public roadways Operation of autonomous vehicles on public roadways
Public workshops and meetings Nissan Volvo VW Group Chrysler GM Toyota Honda Google Bosch Autonomous vehicle technology advancing quickly Adoption by the public will not be dependent on technology Human factors (HMI) Potential traffic safety improvements are immense Over 30,000 traffic fatalities per year Almost all (95 percent) of traffic fatalities were the result of human error In over 35 percent of traffic fatalities, the brakes were not applied Government and industry need to work collaboratively
Definition of Autonomous NHTSA defines 4 levels of autonomous vehicles Level 0 No automation Level 1 Function specific automation Level 2 Combined function automation Level 3 Limited self-driving automation Level 4 Full self-driving automation Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) has similar definitions, although 5 levels
Examples
Examples, continued
Philosophical differences Driver is essential to vehicle operations Design systems to maintain situational awareness Adequate notification time Human is the backup system Vehicle operations fully autonomous No need for steering or braking controls Redundancy and fail-safe built into system
Technological differences Self-contained processing Map dependency and cloud computing Vehicle to vehicle communication (v2v) NHTSA decision on DSRC capability Vehicle to infrastructure communication (v2i) Other forms of autonomous vehicles Platooning Low speed shuttles
NHTSA Level 2 autonomous vehicles available now now _ 2014 Mercedes S class 2014 BMW i3, 5-Series 2014 Cadillac XTS NHTSA Level 3 autonomous vehicles being tested now Private test tracks Human reaction testing Situational awareness No industry agreement on NHTSA Level 4 timetable Dependence on DSRC?

Rating/Underwriting the Risk Today Driver, driver characteristics and attributes Driving record accidents and violations/ubi Where does driver drive/garage car What kind of vehicle
New Problems and Issues Are AV s safe how do we know? Liability driver, manufacturer, software provider? Given a liability scenario--rate the policy Hacking risk/ software updates Cost of technology/ the driving environment
Are These Things Safe? How do you test the vehicle to be sure it is safe? Number of accident free miles Testing the software
The Liability Issue Who Pays? Tort or No-fault Product liability system Rules of product liability are exacting Alternative liability systems Vaccine liability treatment
Rating the Risk Who or what is being insured Full time/part time autonomous system How good is the software/hardware The driver and his driving experience The vehicle itself
Other Issues Hacking/software updates Cost of technology Who owns data Mixture of vehicle on the road Anticipated frequency
