Introduction Safety Has Been and Always Will Be the Ultimate Priority for State Dots, Including as They Invest in and Manage Highway Infrastructure Relating to CAV Deployment Both Connected and Automated Vehicles Are in Our Future; What States Are Doing Now Infrastructure Investment Implications of Deploying Connected and Automated Vehicles Must Be Recognized and Addressed Nationwide Interoperability, Including Further Deployment of Dedicated Short Range Communications, Is Essential Achieve Increased Collaboration between Technology Developers, Vehicle Manufacturers, and Federal, State and Local Agencies Provide Additional Federal Resources for Research Conclusion Statement of Shailen Bhatt, President and CEO, Intelligent Transportation Society of America Statement of Shailen P. Bhatt, President and CEO, on Behalf of: The Intelligent Transportation Society of America (Its America), before the United States Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works Testimony A Better Future Transformed by Intelligent Mobility: Introduction A Better Future Transformed by Intelligent Mobility: The Next Generation of Mobility A Better Future Transformed by Intelligent Mobility: Safer. Greener. Smarter A Better Future Transformed by Intelligent Mobility: Vehicle-to-Infrastructure A Better Future Transformed by Technology: Road Environment and Traffic Management A Better Future Transformed by Intelligent Mobility: Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure A Better Future Transformed by Intelligent Mobility: An Infrastructure Plan that Lays the Groundwork for Connected and Automated Vehicles A Better Future Transformed by Intelligent Mobility: A National Framework for Automated Vehicle Development and Deployment A Better Future Transformed by Intelligent Mobility: Conclusion Statement of Zachary Doerzaph, Director, Center for Advanced Automotive Research Testimony of Dr. Zachary Doerzaph, Director of the Center for Advanced Automotive Research at the Virginia Tech Transportation Institute (VTTI) and Associate Professor of Biomedical Engineering and Mechanics at Virginia Tech Statement of Polly Trottenberg, Commissioner, New York City Department of Transportation Testimony of Polly Trottenberg, Commissioner, New York City Department of Transportation, Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works Urban Environment Safety Congestion The Role of the Federal Government Partnerships Data Sharing AV START Act Workforce Conclusion Statement of Shaun Kildare, Director of Research, Advocates for Highway and Auto Safety Statement of Shaun Kildare, PhD, Director of Research Advocates for Highway and Auto Safety, on “Innovation and America’s Infrastructure: Examining the Effects of Emerging Autonomous Technologies on America’s Roads and Bridges,” Submitted to the U.S. ... Introduction Motor Vehicle Deaths Remain Unacceptably High Advocates Has Consistently Promoted Technology to Save Lives and Prevent Injuries Autonomous Vehicles Need Sensible Safeguards The Safe Operation of Autonomous Vehicle Systems Has Yet to be Proved Federal Vehicle Safety Standards Have both Immediate and Long Term Benefits Federal Standards are Especially Critical Considering Public Opinion Polls Show Skepticism about AVs Upgrades to America’s Infrastructure Are Required for the Safe Deployment of Autonomous Vehicles Connected Vehicles Road Design In Addition to Infrastructure Upgrades, Proper Government Oversight Is Needed for the Safe Deployment of Autonomous Vehicles The AV START Act Fails to Ensure Public Safety Commonsense Improvements Must Be Made to the AV START Act Include Level 2 AVs Require Cybersecurity Standards Direct NHTSA to Proscribe Standards to Prevent Driver Distraction Provide for Standards to Protect the Electronics that Power Safety Systems Require an AV “Vision Test” to Ensure Operating Safety U.S. DOT Requires Sufficient Funding and Authority to Properly Regulate Automated Vehicles Conclusion Opening Statement of Hon.
