What Is a Robot Incident Report?
A robot incident report is a crash report filed under NHTSA's Third Amended Standing General Order 2021-01, effective June 16, 2025. The order requires the entities on its service list to report covered crashes involving automated driving systems or Level 2 advanced driver assistance systems under the order's specified conditions and deadlines. The criteria for automated driving systems and for Level 2 systems differ.
A report is a reporting requirement. It does not establish that automation caused a reported crash.
