As automakers and tech companies work on perfecting autonomous vehicles, governments are working to ensure the safety of the public. That’s a large reason for creating self-driving cars in the first place, as it is hoped they can be programmed to make fewer mistakes than human drivers. Technology has the ability to respond more quickly to problems that arise, and robots don’t get tired, distracted, or drunk. Google has been testing self-driving cars for some time now, and has been reporting its results as required. In order to continue advancing its research, Google pressed the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to fast-track rules governing the testing of autonomous vehicles.

Nonprofit consumer safety organization Consumer Watchdog has some major concerns about that, and has made requests of its own to NHTSA. First and foremost, Consumer Watchdog wants a driver behind the wheel, and asks NTHSA to require that autonomous cars be equipped with a steering wheel, brake, and accelerator in case a human needs to take over the controls.
