The agency is giving autonomous vehicle makers until the end of July to figure out a solution. The US Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is demanding action from autonomous car makers after identifying a clear pattern of driverless AVs interfering with law enforcement and other first responders over the past months. Jonathan Morrison, the agency's administrator, wrote a letter addressing the developers and issuing a call to action. Emergency situations are not rare or edge cases, he wrote, so he wants AV developers and operators focus their resources on fixing the issue immediately. While the NHTSA didn't give specific examples, there have been news about self-driving vehicles getting in the way of ambulances and fire trucks, like in the image above, for years.

Robots available for rent: But what can they do? In hospitals across the US, patients and staff have become accustomed to seeing a one-armed, four-foot high, friendly-looking white robot going about its business. Nurses have been known to greet Moxi, as the robot is called by its maker Diligent Robotics, with a good morning, a high five or even a hug. Moxi - which shuttles medical supplies around hospitals - might respond by displaying its heart-shaped LED eyes and a beep beep greeting of its own. We get a lot of feedback that Moxi feels like a part of the team, says Todd Brugger, chief operating officer at the Texas-based robotics company, which has around 100 of the wheeled robots in operation.
