华盛顿，3月10日（路透社） – 美国国家公路交通安全管理局（NHTSA）周二表示，正在就亚马逊公司（Amazon.com
Zoox于去年8月提交了一份请愿书，寻求该汽车安全机构的批准，称其将提供至少与人类驾驶车辆相当的安全水平，并需要豁免八项针对人类驾驶员设计的联邦车辆安全标准。

美国交通部长肖恩·达菲周二在一个论坛上表示：”这标志着为美国自动驾驶（AV）行业提供一条简化的规模化商业部署新型自动驾驶车队路径的重要里程碑。”他补充说，他已批准NHTSA对联邦机动车安全标准进行下一轮拟议修订，以涵盖没有人类驾驶员的车辆。
NHTSA有权批准制造商每年最多可在美国道路上运营2500辆无需人类控制的车辆，但该机构多年来一直在审查多份豁免请愿书却未采取行动。制造商必须证明无需人类控制的车辆能提供同等安全水平，且豁免符合公共利益。

去年，NHTSA表示正在简化汽车制造商寻求部署无需方向盘、刹车踏板或后视镜等人类控制装置的自动驾驶车辆的申请审查流程。
汽车制造商此前曾对该机构对自动驾驶车辆的缓慢审查表示不满。根据法律，如果完全自动驾驶车辆配备了必要的人类控制装置，则无需NHTSA的批准。
Zoox的全自主电动自动驾驶出租车于2020年12月发布，最高时速为75英里/小时，采用类似营火或马车风格的座椅布局。
2018年，通用汽车（GM.N）曾请愿NHTSA允许其在美国道路上部署2500辆无方向盘和刹车踏板的汽车。2020年，通用汽车撤回了该请愿，而这家底特律汽车制造商在2022年再次寻求NHTSA批准部署无需人类控制的车辆，但该请愿于2024年10月被撤回。

WASHINGTON, March 10 (Reuters) – The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said Tuesday it is seeking public comments on Amazon.com’s
Zoox filed a petition in August seeking approval from the auto safety agency saying it would provide at least an equivalent level of safety to human-driven vehicles and need exemptions from eight federal vehicle safety standards written with human drivers in mind.

“This marks a major milestone towards providing the American AV industry with a streamlined pathway to scaled commercial deployment of novel AV fleets,” U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said at a forum Tuesday, adding he has approved NHTSA’s next round of proposed revisions to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards to account for vehicles without human drivers.
NHTSA has authority to grant petitions to allow up to 2,500 vehicles per manufacturer yearly to operate on U.S. roads without required human controls, but the agency has spent years reviewing several exemption petitions without taking action. Manufacturers must demonstrate vehicles without human controls provide an equivalent safety level and exemptions are in the public interest.

Last year, NHTSA said it was streamlining reviews of requests filed by automakers seeking to deploy self-driving vehicles without required human controls like steering wheels, brake pedals or mirrors.
Automakers previously expressed frustration with the agency’s slow reviews of autonomous vehicles. Under the law, fully self-driving vehicles do not need NHTSA approval if they have required human controls.
The Zoox fully autonomous electric robotaxi was unveiled in December 2020 and has a top speed of 75 miles per hour. It has campfire- or carriage-style seating.
In 2018, GM (GM.N), opens new tab petitioned NHTSA to deploy up to 2,500 cars without steering wheels or brake pedals on U.S. roads. In 2020, GM withdrew the petition and the Detroit automaker in 2022 again sought NHTSA approval to deploy vehicles without human controls but the petition was withdrawn in October 2024.
