🇬🇧 English

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is proposing changes to safety standards for vehicles with Automated Driving Systems (ADS). These changes would exempt ADS-equipped vehicles from certain requirements related to windshield visibility systems, as they don't need the same features since there's no manual driving. Manufacturers can still include these systems if they want.
