More Comments for NHTSA - American Driverless Safety

Comment # 6: Written copy of a two-page statement made at the Apr. 8 hearing by John Collins, president of a transportation consulting firm. Mr. Collins wants NHTSA to develop an Automated Vehicle Leadership Council.

Comment #7: This two-pager concentrates on protecting the cyber-security of automated vehicles.

Comment #8: This is a moving statement by a self-described older disabled woman. She is unable to use regular public transit. She writes about the life-altering inconvenience and isolation of lacking transportation, about the humiliation of using government-provided demand-response transportation, and about sometimes falling through the cracks of strict eligibility requirements for transportation services. 

This commenter also provides useful recommendations for redundant interfaces in automated vehicles for people with different disabilities. She also suggests that the vehicles be designed for easy entry, exit, and use for people with disabilities.

Comment #9: This comment is anti-driverless under any and all circumstances. Apparently, this person has no idea how many people are currently killed and injured on our roads each year.
