U.S. Regulators Propose Blue Indicator Lights for Autonomous Vehicles
The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) released a draft this Friday proposing the installation of cyan external indicator lights on autonomous vehicles to signal their self-driving status. Each vehicle could be equipped with 4-8 lights, with at least one each at the front, sides, and rear, mounted at least 38 centimeters above the ground. The draft currently lists this as an optional requirement rather than a mandatory one.
