Kids in Autonomous Vehicles Consortium How it Works

How Will the Consortium Work?

The Consortium consists of two working groups:.

Policy/Legislation/Enforcement Working Group

This group will focus on the first four recommendations identified in the Blue Ribbon Panel Report to protect child passengers in AVs and create guidance and tools to support decision makers when legislation, enforcement and policies are being drafted. It will guide states to develop and maintain strict, universally-applicable passenger safety standards for children in AVs whose interests are reflected in state laws, public policy and enforcement.

Public Information and Education Working Group

This working group will take steps to ensure that the next four recommendations identified in the Blue Ribbon Panel Report are considered when new educational efforts are drafted. The goal will be to influence the development of standardized messaging and use of consistent language in new information that educates and informs our nation's frontline grassroots communicators.
