<H4>Australia’s NTC to study four options for an automated vehicle safety assurance system</H4> <P>&nbsp; <P><STRONG>Australia’s National Transport Commission (NTC) has released a discussion paper that examines the balance between government oversight and industry self-regulation for automated vehicle safety, and identifies four regulatory options for a safety assurance system for the new technology.</STRONG></P> <P>The paper, <EM>Regulatory options to assure automated vehicle safety in Australia</EM>, calls on Australian governments, vehicle manufacturers, transport technology providers, and other interested parties, to contribute to the development of a national safety assurance regime for automated vehicles.</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>The NTC is seeking feedback on four regulatory options: continuing the current approach, self-certification, pre-market approval, and accreditation. Submissions for the discussion paper are open until July 28, and following consultation, the NTC will present a preferred regulatory option to transport ministers in November 2017. This work is seen as a key part of the NTC’s roadmap of reform to prepare Australia for automated road vehicles.</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P><A href=&quot;http://www.traffictechnologytoday.com/news.php?NewsID=86020&quot; target=_blank>원문보기</A></P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P><IMG alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;http://cms.ukintpress.com/UserFiles/2_%20NTC%20automated%20vehicles%20graphic.jpg&quot; width=525 align=left height=332></P>
