India, Aug. 7 -- The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has announced that it issued an exemption for Zoox driverless vehicles to operate on U.S. roads.
This is the first-ever exemption for American-built vehicles under the agency's newly expanded Automated Vehicle Exemption Program.
In April, NHTSA expanded its Automated Vehicle Exemption Program to include domestically produced vehicles as part of its AV Framework.?
Previously only foreign AVs were eligible for exemption, disadvantaging American innovators. The expanded AVEP program is successfully promoting U.S. technology and safety through simpler, faster exemption procedures that allow companies to operate noncompliant vehicles on U.S. roads.
