"“If the U.S. doesn’t get thoughtful about robotics policy, we will wind up losing out to these other nations,” Ryan Calo, an expert in cyber law and robotics at the University of Washington School of Law, tells Vocativ.
Specifically, in a white paper on the government’s difficulty with regulating new technologies, Calo said that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) lacks the understanding on the complicated technology behind the vehicles already on our roads. He cites an example of a past electronic problem with Toyota vehicles, in which NHTSA, unable to evaluate the issue on their own, had to ask NASA for assistance in determining the car’s malfunction."
