What DOT’s Automated Vehicle Strategy Means for Trucking

The U.S. Department of Transportation issued a new automated-vehicle strategy that outlines plans for driverless-truck regulations, cross-state freight corridors, and federal safety standards.

The U.S. Department of Transportation has laid out a national strategy for automated vehicles that, among other things, could help clear some of the regulatory obstacles facing autonomous trucks operating across state lines.

The Automated Vehicles National Strategy, released September 3, outlines DOT priorities for fiscal years 2026 through 2030 for all automated vehicles.

Those include developing safety standards for automated driving systems, modernizing regulations written for human drivers, and making it easier for automated vehicles to operate across state borders.
