best practices to be calculated. However, 

neither is possible at this time. 

The best practices outlined in this 

document help organizations measure 

their residual risks better, particularly 

the safety risks associated with potential 

cybersecurity issues in motor vehicles 

and motor vehicle equipment that they 

design and manufacture. Further, it 

provides a toolset of techniques they 

can utilize commensurate to their 

measured risks, and take appropriate 

actions to reduce or eliminate them, and 

in doing so lower the future liabilities 

these risks represent in terms of safety 

risks to public and business costs 

associated with addressing them. 

In addition, quantitatively positive 

externalities have been shown to stem 

from vehicle safety and security 

measures (Ayres & Levitt, 1998). The 

high marginal cost of cybersecurity 

failures (crashes) extend to third parties. 

Widely accepted adoption of sound 

cybersecurity practices limits these 

potential costs and lessens incentives 

for attempts at market disruption (i.e., 

signal manipulation, GPS spoofing, or 

reverse engineering). 

How do I prepare and submit 

comments? 

Your comments must be written and 

in English. To ensure that your 

comments are filed correctly in the 

docket, please include the docket 

number of this document in your 

comments. Your comments must not be 

more than 15 pages long (49 CFR 

553.21). NHTSA established this limit to 

encourage you to write your primary 

comments in a concise fashion. 

However, you may attach necessary 

additional documents to your 

comments. There is no limit on the 

length of the attachments. Please submit 

one copy (two copies if submitting by 

mail or hand delivery) of your 

comments, including the attachments, 

to the docket following the instructions 

given above under ADDRESSES. Please 

note, if you submit comments 

electronically as a PDF (Adobe) file, 

NHTSA asks that the documents 

submitted be scanned using an Optical 

Character Recognition (OCR) process, 

thus allowing the Agency to search and 

copy certain portions of your 

submissions. 

How do I submit confidential business 

information? 

If you wish to submit any information 

under a claim of confidentiality, you 

should submit three copies of your 

complete submission, including the 

information you claim to be confidential 

business information, to the Office of 

the Chief Counsel, NHTSA, at the 

address given above under FOR FURTHER

INFORMATION CONTACT. In addition, you 

may submit a copy (two copies if 

submitting by mail or hand delivery), 

from which you have deleted the 

claimed confidential business 

information, to the docket by one of the 

methods given above under ADDRESSES. 

When you send a comment containing 

information claimed to be confidential 

business information, you should 

include a cover letter setting forth the 

information specified in NHTSA’s 

confidential business information 

regulation (49 CFR part 512). 

Will the Agency consider late 

comments? 

NHTSA will consider all comments 

received before the close of business on 

the comment closing date indicated 

above under DATES. To the extent 

possible, the Agency will also consider 

comments received after that date. 

Given that we intend for the guidance 

document to be a living document and 

to be developed in an iterative fashion, 

subsequent opportunities to comment 

will also be provided necessarily. 

How can I read the comments 

submitted by other people? 

You may read the comments received 

at the address given above under 

Comments. The hours of the docket are
