U.S. moves to standardise autonomous vehicle identification lights with teal external lighting

The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is moving to introduce teal external lights to show when an autonomous vehicle is operating in self-driving mode. A draft proposal sets requirements for visibility from the front, sides and rear, with a minimum mounting height of 15 inches, but makes the lighting optional. The draft also includes changes to safety rules to reflect autonomous vehicle designs, including deleting a turn-signal requirement that is hard to apply to vehicles without steering wheels.

Tesla to handle over half of global passenger travel, Elon Musk says

Elon Musk set out an ambition for Tesla to take more than half of the global passenger travel market by leading with self-driving services. He said Tesla would handle the majority of passenger travel distance in countries that allow autonomous driving to operate freely. The outlook faces uncertainty from national regulations, delays in Tesla’s autonomous-driving schedule and scrutiny of its Cybercab robotaxi. Tesla executives also indicated unsupervised FSD could reach some customer cars as early as the second quarter of 2027.

Robotaxi interior is not a private space, industry reworks seating and surveillance design

A proposal has been made to curb disruptive or improper behavior in driverless robotaxis by changing interior design and adding digital warning systems. Researchers discussed ways to deter misconduct in shared autonomous vehicles at a workshop in Sweden, focusing on the risk that the absence of a driver can create a false sense of privacy. Suggested measures include more open cabin layouts and AI assistants that warn riders about monitoring.
