U.S. Guidelines for Self-Driving Cars

She says the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has signaled that more detailed regulations may lie ahead. But the agency also hints that makers of self-driving cars could be required to go through a pre-clearance or self-certification process akin to that required for aircraft builders.
