Production Act of 1993--Automated Driving Behaviors Consortium

    Notice is hereby given that, on June 1, 2018, pursuant to Section 
6(a) of the National Cooperative Research and Production Act of 1993, 
15 U.S.C. 4301 et seq. (``the Act''), Automated Driving Behaviors 
Consortium (``ADB Consortium'') has filed written notifications 
simultaneously with the Attorney General and the Federal Trade 
Commission disclosing (1) the identities of the parties to the venture 
and (2) the nature and objectives of the venture. The notifications 
were filed for the purpose of invoking the Act's provisions limiting 
the recovery of antitrust plaintiffs to actual damages under specified 
circumstances.
    Pursuant to Section 6(b) of the Act, the identities of the parties 
to the venture are: FCA USA LLC, Auburn Hills, MI; Ford Motor Company, 
Dearborn, MI; General Motors LLC, Warren, MI; Hyundai America Technical 
Center, Inc., Superior Township, MI; Mercedes-Benz Research & 
Development North America, Ann Arbor, MI; Nissan Technical Center N.A., 
Farmington Hills, MI; Toyota Motor North America, Plano, Texas; and 
Volkswagen Group of America, Inc., Auburn Hills, MI.
    The general area of ADB Consortium's planned activity is to fund 
and conduct multiple research projects limited to specific areas with 
specifically-defined technical goals which the participants believe 
will speed the development and ultimate consumer access to safe 
vehicles equipped with Automated Driving Systems (ADS). ADB 
Consortium's objectives are to gain further knowledge and understanding 
of ADS-equipped vehicle interactions with public safety through 
research into common operational use cases.
