As Automated Driving Systems (ADS) increasingly integrate into our roadway networks, they face the complex challenge of adhering to traffic rules and regulations that vary from one jurisdiction to another across the United States. This webinar explores ideas for enabling ADS to comprehend and comply with this intricate legal landscape. We will discuss how to equip ADS with the ability to determine applicable traffic laws, the role of regulators in standardizing and facilitating compliance, strategies engineers use to validate adherence, and how Infrastructure Owners and Operators (IOOs) can manage and support these advanced systems. Join us to delve into collaborative approaches that ensure safe and lawful ADS operation amidst the diversity of regional traffic regulations.
