Automated Vehicle TEST Initiative Tracking Tool

NHTSA launched the AV TEST Initiative in June 2020 with states, local governments, and private-sector stakeholders throughout the driving automation community. The goal of the initiative is to provide the public with direct and easy access to information about testing of ADS-equipped vehicles, information from states regarding activity, legislation, regulations, local involvement in automation on our roadways, and information provided by companies developing and testing ADS. This in turn, increases the public awareness of on-road testing, safety precautions, and principles guiding the testing. One of the ways NHTSA is improving public awareness is the AV TEST Initiative, shown above. This initiative is another way that NHTSA is working with governmental and private stakeholders to facilitate the safe development, testing, integration, and education of driving automation technology in the United States.
