The agency plans on publishing its findings from the investigation soon. “NHTSA reminds the public that no commercially available motor vehicle today can drive itself,” a spokesperson said. “Whether a L2 automated driving system is engaged or not, every available vehicle requires the human driver to be in control at all times, and all State laws hold the human driver responsible for the operation of their vehicles.”Subscribe to get the best Verge-approved tech deals of the week.
