The council shall undertake information gathering activities, develop technical advice, and present best practices or recommendations to DOT regarding advancing mobility access for the disabled community with respect to the deployment of automated driving systems for motor vehicles to identify impediments to their use and ensure an awareness of the needs of such community as these highly automated vehicles are being designed for commercial distribution.
