Safe Integration of Automated Driving Systems: Automated Driving System (ADS) - Equipped Commercial Vehicles (CMVs)
Supplemental Advance Notice of Proposed Decision (SANPRM). The initial SANPRM relating to ADS-equipped CMVs was published in May 2019. It generally focused on fundamental issues relating to ADS-equipped CMVs that required a person to be behind the wheel at all times as well as how a person behind the wheel would affect a host of workforce issues and current controls.
To further advance their investigation into the safety risks associated with ADS-equipped CMVs, FMCSA published another SANPRM on February 1, 2023, seeking comments on ADS-equipped CMVs that do not require a human being to be behind the wheel at all times.
The lack of consistent, direct human intervention creates new challenges to current regulatory, enforcement and fleet management practices.
The deadline for comments was March 20, 2023.

Heavy Vehicle Automatic Emergency Braking; AEB Test Devices , NHTSA - RIN 2127-AM36; FMCSA - RIN 2126- AC49
FMSCA and the National Highway Transportation Safety Board (NHTSB) issued a Joint Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) in January 2023.
This NPRM seeks to adopt a new Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) to require automatic emergency braking (AEB) systems on heavy vehicles, i.e. vehicles with a gross vehicle weight rating greater than 4,536 kilograms (10,000 pounds).
This notice also proposes to amend FMVSS No. 136 to require that substantially all heavy -duty vehicles have an electronic stability control system that meets the equipment requirements, general system operational capability investor database requirements, and malfunction detection requirements of FMVSS No. 136.
Technology Makes a Difference
Electronic Recording
If the documents can be produced when required in accordance with FMCSA regulations, they may be stored electronically only:
Unless there is a risk of data being lost or altered.
PHMSA Request for Information
He may be required to produce paper copies of records stored electronically.
Scanned or other “image capture” records, including a verifiable signature, meet the requirements of § 390.31 and the original paper documents may be destroyed in accordance with § 390.31(c).
Electronic documentation uploaded at the request of an authorized safety officer is governed by Records Management Policies and Laws.
Includes use and destruction of federal records.
Record retention varies depending on the type of investigation, outcome of the investigation, enforcement action, etc.
Keep the Load on the Road and Save Lives
The U.S. DOT’s mission to reduce the number of deaths and serious injuries to zero has prompted FMSCA to reexamine how they identify carriers who pose a greater safety risk than other similar carriers, how they make that information available, and how all carriers can be educated so they better understand how to avoid these unsafe behaviors.
FMSCA has proposed a number of changes to its Safety Measurement System (SMS) and has updated the SMS website using the proposed methodology. FMSCA has made the revised database available to carriers so they can see how their information might change if the new methodology is approved.
