"“If you simply want an exemption, if you want to get around a law of general application, then show the government why that is justified," Smith said during the symposium. “And in showing government, show the public that it represents the same.”
That last part is especially crucial, Smith believes. As regulators begin to grapple with the idea of how to approach the question of automated driving — a question that has the potential to remake cities so that they have more space and serve more people more efficiently — they will be looking to the public, he said. Public perception, which will be influenced by the data available for automated driving, will certainly play a part in the development of regulations."
