NHTSA. Preliminary Statement of Policy Concerning Automated Vehicles. 2012
"Preventing significant numbers of crashes will, in addition to relieving the enormous emotional toll on families, also greatly reduce the enormous related societal costs—lives lost, hospital stays, days of work missed, and property damage—that total in the hundreds of billions of dollars each year. Moreover, these dramatic changes will offer significant new opportunities for investments in the underlying technologies and employment in the various industries that develop, manufacture, and maintain them."

NHTSA Automation of Vehicle Safety Functions. Daniel C. Smith
NHTSA’S ROLE
"Others will develop vehicle automation technologies
NHTSA will determine how to ensure safety benefits are widely enjoyed and potential safety risks addressed"
Research plan on automation aims to
– Ensure safe shared vehicle control between the driver and automated driving modes (driver-vehicle interface requirements)
– Develop performance requirements for emerging automation vehicle concepts to ensure safe operation in mixed traffic/public roads
– Develop methods to comprehensively test automated vehicles
– Ensure electronic control systems safety and cybersecurity"

Human Factors Evaluation of Level 2 and Level 3 Automated Driving Concepts
16. Abstract
"The purpose of this study was to investigate user interactions with Level 2 and Level 3 partially automated vehicles. L2 and L3 were of interest because it is at this point where the driver’’s role transitions and longitudinal and lateral control are ceded in varying degrees to the vehicle. At this point, the driver becomes an intermittent operator. For L2 and L3, the level of involvement by the human might vary. Therefore, we use the term operator as opposed to driver. The study focused on how these intermittent operators transition between automated and non-automated vehicle operation, and how this interaction is affected by the human-machine interface (HMI). Three experiments were performed with prototype partially automated vehicles on controlled test tracks in mixed..
