NHTSA proposes removing regulatory barriers for driverless cars as France resists Tesla FSD
mitchdeg · x · 2026-10-24
The NHTSA announced proposed rules to remove U.S. federal regulatory barriers for fully autonomous vehicles without steering wheels or pedals, such as Tesla's Cybercab. Changes include eliminating requirements for manually operated turn signal controls and allowing autonomous driving systems to control turn signals, hazard lights, and high/low beams. French commentator mitchdeg contrasted this with France's transport minister Philippe Tabarot, who is resisting Tesla's FSD — a stark regulatory divergence between the two countries.
