From 2014. For many years, New Mexico had one of the highest rates of alcohol-related driving fatalities in the United States. In 2004, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration entered into a cooperative agreement with the New Mexico Department of Transportation. The objective was to demonstrate a process for developing and implementing an enhanced comprehensive impaired driving program, to reduce the number of crashes and fatalities caused by impaired driving. NHTSA contracted with the Pacific Institute for Research and Evaluation (PIRE) to examine New Mexico’s efforts.

https://www.nhtsa.gov/document/role-supervised-dri...
From 2012. Traditional Graduated Driver Licensing (GDL) systems, in place in all the States, include three licensing stages: the initial learner stage, an intermediate or provisional phase, and full licensure. An important component of GDL systems is the extended learner stage for beginning drivers. This stage gives novice drivers opportunity to gain valuable driving experience under the supervision of experienced adult drivers. Novice drivers rarely crash while they are being supervised by adults, but have the highest crash rates of all age groups during the first six months of unsupervised driving when they become fully licensed.

https://www.nhtsa.gov/document/adaptive-driving-be...
From 2015, NHTSA evaluated existing European Adaptive Driving Beam (ADB) headlighting systems, a type of front-lighting system that lets upper beam headlamps adapt their beam patterns to create shaded areas around oncoming and preceding vehicles to improve long-range visibility for the driver without causing discomfort, distraction, or glare to other road users. Europe and Japan have begun to allow ADB headlighting systems as optional equipment. Using European test procedures adapted for performance on test track courses, the amount of glare cast on other vehicles by ADB systems was measured. The work summarized here together provides a basis for the development of performance criteria and an objective test procedure for ADB headlighting systems.

Threport evaluates the functional framework of operations for Level 2 and Level 3 automated vehicle systems by defining the levels of automation, the operator vehicle interactions, and system components, and by assessing the automation relevant parameters from a scenario-based analysis stand-point. Research effort, scenarios and literature are used to identify the range of near- to mid-term production-intent systems so follow-on research topics with highest impact can be identified through commonalities in operational concepts.
