Advocating regulatory relief involvement is requested.
Autonomous vehicle operating on public roads requires regulatory relief in United States and other countries is advocated
Plan to work closely with the US Department of Transportation (DOT) and others globally. Advocating adoption and acceptance of autonomous vehicle operating on public roads.
Making the case for autonomous vehicles it’s planned to use significant amount of video imagery to enhance understanding of benefits and capabilities, of autonomous vehicles.
More than 30,000 people die in traffic accidents every year in the US alone, and almost all of those deaths are attributable to human error. Self-driving cars are poised to reduce that number significantly
Reduced vehicle related deaths and serious injuries is planned. The initial objective is 50% reduction. Achieving the benefits of life saving capabilities is highly dependent upon the technologies and regulatory relief requirement.
Philanthropist participation is necessary to support Regulatory Relief. Individual philanthropist providing: expertise, money, skills and talents are invited and necessary for success. Participants needed, participate immediately.
Incremental regulatory relief possibilities. Incremental plans could potentially, include select roads, under select weather conditions, authorized to go autonomous. Speed limits potentially incrementally relieved. Autonomous accident reports already regulatory required in the United States, prompt reporting is required. Supported reporting is planned.
Passive drivers planned. Regulatory requirements is that a license driver be behind the wheel when the vehicle in autonomous mode, in case and when the autonomous feature is disengaged abruptly. The responsible driver must be able to take over control of the vehicle immediately.
Opportunities for individuals to be passive drivers is expected. Local, regional and long distance passive drivers could be a tremendous new job opportunity for individuals. Possibly even couples driving as a team.
Artificial intelligence (AI) enabled vehicles reportedly can process Trillions of data in nanoseconds. Video high-tech enabled cameras mounted on all sides of vehicles, far-exceed the capabilities of humans.
It’s impossible for humans to have the same technological decision-making capabilities as a supercomputer trained vehicle with advanced
hardware and software, including millions of road miles of information updated over the air often.
Tesla appears to be the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) leader, with hardware and software. The plan includes best available technology support.
Strategic regulatory relief will require intensive involvement including enabling decision makers: high level and staff accessibility to autonomous vehicles for their own personal experience.
Providing draft rules and regulation supporting autonomous driving is likely to be required. No new legislation is expected to be required, although could be supported with expert testimony and visual information including video.
Regulatory relief beans deleting or changing existing rules and regulation prohibiting autonomous driving on public roads. Sometimes simple language changes enable objectives.
United States Federal Related Agencies:

No reliance on law firms, lobbyist or others is planned. Information is fun to be open source and can be used by supporters.
Strategic public relations campaign is planned providing open source information including videos. Media autonomous driving experiences our plans with reporters being driven and professional technical answers to questions presented by journalists. No marketing of one particular vehicle or technology is planned. Objectively, neutrality is planned.
Planning on assembling required assets from off-the-shelf or otherwise proven products with strategic integration for supporting. Domes, advanced communication, space statelite Internet, portable electric energy storage, electric vehicles (including on, off-road & construction equipment EVs) everything required. All rapidly setup, taken down & transported globally. Supporting demonstrations, command and control.
VIP (very important people) invited to all activities related to regulatory relief including face-to-face meetings and media events.
Round Table discussions are planned part of dining experiences, with food and drinks served. Open invitation for select individuals including representing federal, state and local agencies, including Kingdoms globally.
Headquartering plans in Metro Washington DC near federal agencies, especially rule making staffers is strategically beneficial for personal networking and on-call availability including country Representatives at embassy in Metro Washington DC. Nearby racetrack accessibility near Washington DC, regulatory relief related to autonomous vehicles, is beneficial.
Military, law enforcement &others
Regulatory relief is for individuals and small businesses. Public agencies and others participating but not intended for their purposes.
Disclaimer
Regulatory relief for autonomous vehicles is uncertain, when or whenever is unknown.

Call to action
Philanthropist participation is beneficial and necessary to support Driving Programs. Individual philanthropist providing: expertise, money, skills and talents are invited and necessary for success. Participants needed, participate immediately. Help make a better World.
Background
More than 30,000 people die in traffic accidents every year in the US alone, and almost all of those deaths are attributable to human error. Self-driving cars are poised to reduce that number significantly.
Mission DOT
To deliver the world’s leading transportation system, serving the American people and economy through the safe, efficient, sustainable, and equitable movement of people and goods.
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) — United States
NHTSA’s mission is to save lives, prevent injuries, and reduce the economic costs of roadway crashes through education, research, safety standards and enforcement activity. Advanced vehicle technologies hold the promise not only to change the way we drive but to save lives.
The continuing evolution of automotive technology aims to deliver even greater safety benefits than earlier technologies. One day, automated driving systems, which some refer to as automated vehicles, may be able to handle the whole task of driving when we don’t want to or can’t do it ourselves.
NHTSA demonstrates its dedication to saving lives on our nation’s roads and highways through its approach to the safe development, testing, and deployment of new and advanced vehicle technologies that have enormous potential for improving safety and mobility for all Americans.
June 29, 2021 | Washington, DC
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) today exercised its authority by issuing a Standing General Order requiring manufacturers and operators of vehicles equipped with SAE Level 2 advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) or SAE Levels 3-5 automated driving systems (ADS) to report crashes. This action will enable NHTSA to collect information necessary for the agency to play its role in keeping Americans safe on the roadways, even as the technology deployed on the nation’s roads continues to evolve.
“NHTSA’s core mission is safety. By mandating crash reporting, the agency will have access to critical data that will help quickly identify safety issues that could emerge in these automated systems,” said Dr. Steven Cliff, NHTSA’s Acting Administrator. “In fact, gathering data will help instill public confidence that the federal government is closely overseeing the safety of automated vehicles.”
NHTSA’s order requires covered entities to report crashes that occur on public roads in the United States based on the following:
Within one day of learning of a crash, companies must report crashes involving a Level 2 ADAS or Levels 3-5 ADS-equipped vehicle that also involve a hospital-treated injury, a fatality, a vehicle tow-away, an air bag deployment, or a vulnerable road user such as a pedestrian or bicyclist. An updated report is due 10 days after learning of the crash.
Every month, companies must report all other crashes involving an ADS-equipped vehicle that involve an injury or property damage.
Reports must be updated monthly with new or additional information.
Reports must be submitted for any reportable crash, about which a company receives notice, beginning 10 days after the company is served with the order.
Reports must be submitted to NHTSA electronically using a form that requires important information regarding the crash. NHTSA will use this information to identify crashes for follow-up.
The order requires vehicle and equipment (including software) manufacturers of Level 2 ADAS or Levels 3-5 ADS systems and vehicles and operators of ADS-equipped vehicles to report crashes where the Level 2 ADAS or Level 3-5 ADS system was engaged during or immediately before the crash.
These data will help the agency identify potential safety issues and impacts resulting from the operation of advanced technologies on public roads and increase transparency. Access to ADS data may show whether there are common patterns in driverless vehicle crashes or systematic problems in operation.
Level 2 ADAS is an increasingly common feature on many new vehicles and provides driver assist functions that combine technologies, like lane centering assistance and adaptive cruise control, where the vehicle is able to control certain aspects of steering and speed. Drivers, though, must remain engaged and alert at all times when using these systems, as they are not designed and not able to perform critical operating components of the driving task. ADS-equipped vehicles, which are able to perform the complete driving task in limited circumstances, are not currently sold to consumers but are in limited use on public roads around the country for testing, ride sharing, and goods delivery.
NHTSA’s oversight is not limited to the specified crashes discussed in the order or the information submitted under its reporting obligations. NHTSA’s review and analysis will include all information and incidents relevant to any potential safety defects. Additionally, NHTSA may take further actions on any individual crash, including sending a Special Crash Investigations team and requiring the company to provide additional information. NHTSA may also open defect investigations, as warranted.
NHTSA urges the public to contact us if they think their vehicle may have a safety defect.
