Guidelines for Testing Drivers in Vehicles with Advanced Driver Assistance Systems

AAMVA has been leading an effort to assist its members to advance their understanding of vehicle technologies designed to perform and/or assist in some or all of the dynamic driving tasks that humans perform today. As the AAMVA community became more informed, it began to understand the impact vehicle technologies are already having on driver licensing programs. It became clear that there was a need to update driver license testing systems, including driver license manuals, driver license knowledge tests, skills tests, and examiner training, by incorporating information and testing procedures that address the technology, referred to as Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS).
