NHTSA proposes cyan lighting standard to mark driverless autonomous vehicles
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has proposed new lighting rules for autonomous vehicles, suggesting cyan (blue-green) lights to indicate when a vehicle is driving itself with no human monitoring the road. The proposal would standardize where such lights are mounted, require them to stay steadily lit rather than flash, and make them visible from all sides, while also dropping requirements for manual turn signal, high-beam and hazard controls.
