NHTSA withdrew its January 15, 2025 proposal for the ADS-Equipped Vehicle Safety, Transparency, and Evaluation Program (AV STEP), 90 FR 4130, Docket NHTSA-2024-0100. The notice states that industry comments suggested participation would have been minimal, that safety advocates considered a voluntary program insufficient, and that 'the goals of AV STEP will be better served by other initiatives,' pointing to NHTSA's exemption programs.
