16. Abstract
This research investigates the challenges of establishing an automated driving system (ADS)-ready traffic laws and regulations database, as well as proposes access and exchange requirements to support sharing and consumption of the information within the ADS ecosystem. It alsodescribes the basic requirements for collaboration among State and local traffic code stakeholders, as well as ADS behavior subject matter experts. This report looks at currently available data that support automated vehicle integration into our roadway system, and investigates the issue of inconsistencies in basic traffic laws across the nation and how they affect ADS behavior.
