Policy Implementation the greatest challenge
• Technologies maturing quickly• Policy issues lagging
Short term issues• Roadway quality/maintenance• Legal issues

• All lane markings must be visible• The more contrast the better

Cannot allow sealing to take place over lane markingsThree steps pre-winter sealing—order is critical
1. Seal seams and cracks2. Oil rumble strips3. Paint last

Short term legal issuesMaintaining Safe Distances
300 feet for trucks at all speeds and“Reasonable Distance” for other vehicles

Conclusions
1. Roadway quality/maintenance
2. Educating public and lawmakers Roads must be maintained to maximize the capability of the assisted driving systems
Public education is vital to ensure sensible administrative and legislative policies
Iowa is taking concrete steps towards comprehensive policies to guide adoption of automated vehicle technologies
Implementation of such technologies will reduce the crash and death rate due to driver error
