The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) has released an update to the agency's policy document on autonomous vehicles.

The document, Automated Vehicles 3.0: Preparing for the Future of Transportation (AV 3.0), is a far-reaching collaboration between all of the DOT's surface transportation operating administrations and seeks to encourage the widespread integration of autonomous technology into the U.S. transportation system. AV 3.0 also provides guidance for achieving this for a wide range of industry stakeholders, including federal government offices; state, local, and tribal governments; technology and vehicle manufacturers and suppliers; infrastructure owners and operators; and commercial motor carriers.
