Japan’s transport ministry says it intends by autumn to unveil safety standards for self-driving cars.
The rules will require an alarm that sounds whenever the driver’s hands leave the steering wheel for more than 15 seconds, The Japan Times reports. The newspaper says the standards will impose variable speed limits indexed to the sharpness of road curves. The rules also will specify the autonomous vehicles include a function that enables a human operator to safely assume control of a self-driving vehicle if necessary to avoid a crash.
Japan’s standards are being coordinated those in Europe through the United Nations’ World Forum for Harmonization of Vehicle Regulations.
