The Lidar Coalition provided comments in response to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s (NHTSA) request for comments on The Safety Research Portfolio Public Meeting: Fall 2022 and current and future research projects undertaken by the Agency. The Coalition is encouraged to see NHTSA performing research on the use of lidar in a number of contexts, including in crash avoidance technologies. NHTSA should continue to expand the use cases in which the Agency studies lidar as a safety and performance enhancing technology. The Coalition’s comments are available here.
