SAFETY FIRST, ALWAYS
Families for Safe Streets Framework for Autonomous Vehicles
WHITE PAPER RELEASE
Today, autonomous vehicles (AVs) are transitioning from experimental technology to real-world deployment. Driverless vehicles are already operating in U.S. cities, and expansion is expected in the coming years. The decisions policymakers make today will shape how these technologies affect public safety for decades.
The central question is not whether autonomous vehicles will exist but what form they will take: how safe they will be, whose interests they will prioritize, and whether they will strengthen or undermine a broad set of public needs.
Families for Safe Streets (FSS) evaluates AV safety policy through ten core foundational principles centered on human life, safety, accountability, and transparency.
On June 24th, FSS will unveil our bold, principles-driven framework for AV safety policy — built with families, advocates and policy experts.

IN THE NEWS
“The standard must not be ‘as safe as human drivers.” It must be to set us on a trajectory toward eliminating traffic deaths. That is what commercial aviation has largely achieved. It is what we must require of AVs.”
— Marco Conner, Policy Counsel
