Autonomous trucking company sues over 1970s safety rules

The article from Axios discusses a lawsuit filed by Aurora, a self-driving truck company, against the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT). Aurora is challenging a new regulation that requires all commercial vehicles, including those that are fully autonomous, to have human drivers. This regulation, set to take effect in June 2025, could significantly impact the development and deployment of driverless trucks. Aurora argues that this rule is not only outdated but also contradicts the DOT's own initiatives to promote autonomous vehicle technology for safety and efficiency improvements. The lawsuit claims that the regulation would hinder innovation, increase costs, and potentially delay the benefits of autonomous trucks, such as reducing accidents caused by human error, improving fuel efficiency, and addressing driver shortages. The contention is that the DOT's rule does not account for the advancements in technology and could set back the industry's progress.
