The largest carmaking countries should form a group to push for a single set of global engineering standards for self-driving vehicles, suggests the head of the Washington, D.C., auto show.
CEO John O’Donnell presented the idea earlier today at a conference ahead of the Beijing auto show. He suggests the group be called the Global Autonomous Vehicle Engineering Organization.
GAVEO would consist of a board of engineers from China, Germany, India, Japan, South Korea, the U.K. and the U.S. The goal would be to promulgate one group of technical standards that countries could then use to set regulations “appropriate to their requirements.”
O’Donnell suggests that launching the group now—while autonomous driving is still in its infancy—would stabilize the climate for development and accelerate the safe deployment of robotic driving systems everywhere.
The group O’Donnell envisions would function similar to hundreds of existing standards-setting organizations such as SAE International, IEEE, ISO and others.
