Feds want robotaxis to signal ‘I’m driving’ with cyan-colored lights
Federal regulators want driverless cars to shine a distinct blue-green light to signal when humans aren’t driving.
AI Summary
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued proposed amendments to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. ... that would require autonomous‑driving vehicles to display cyan‑colored lighting to indicate the vehicle is operating without a human driver. The rule follows years of industry debate over how driverless cars should signal their status, with proposals ranging from flashing text to audio alerts and custom lights. By standardizing a single visual cue, regulators aim to give pedestrians and other motorists a clear, uniform indication that a robotaxi is in control. The proposal is now open for public comment.
