WASHINGTON — The U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) is accepting comments on the agency’s Automated Vehicles Comprehensive Plan (AVCP). The plan outlines the DOT’s multimodal “roadmap” to prepare the nation’s transportation system for the integration of automated driving systems (ADS).

The notice was published in the Federal register Jan. 21; public comments will be accepted for 60 days (until March 22).

As reported by The Trucker on Jan. 14, the AVCP addresses automated trucking operations in addition to passenger vehicles.
