New guidelines for self-driving vehicle laws proposed

New guidelines for self-driving vehicle laws have been proposed in a Jan. 6, 2014, report by researchers at the RAND Corporation led by James Anderson, a senior behavioral scientist at RAND..
The study was inspired by the 500,000 mile accident free record of Google’s driverless vehicle as of March 2013 and included the input of insurance agencies, automobile manufacturers, state regulatory agencies, and communication companies.
Self-driving vehicles were found to reduce the number of accidents by at least 33 percent, provide transportation for people that are physically incapable of driving cars, and to reduce traffic congestion in cities.
