The NHTSA wants to ban the sale of self-driving cars for the next four years. The reason for this is quite simple: the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) wants to make sure that these vehicles are completely safe.

As we found out first hand at this past January CES in Las Vegas, the advent of the self-driving or fully automated car is inevitable.

Technology for the coming of these cars is already present on numerous production cars today and come in the form of intelligent cruise control, braking assistance and other types of active safety features.

In order to fully define what an automated driving car is, the NHTSA has created a five-category classification. Further details on the classifications can be found at the source.
