Quick Summary:

Domestic AVs can now get FMVSS exemptions for no rearview mirrors or steering wheels.

Crashes using either autonomous driving systems or a partially automated system like GM's Super Cruise or Tesla's Autopilot must be reported within 10 days if anyone involved was killed or taken to hospital, if a vulnerable road user was hit, if the airbags deployed, or if the vehicle had to be towed away from the crash.

And now, domestic autonomous vehicle developers will be able to benefit from exemptions previously only offered to foreign companies.
