We are proud to be a founding member of the Coalition for Future Mobility.
As Congress considers a key piece of legislation that would keep the momentum of self-driving cars—and the safety, environmental, and other benefits they bring—building, the Coalition is conducting special outreach to underscore the importance of ensuring our regulations and infrastructure consider self-driving vehicles.
Below is an ad from the campaign calling on Congress to “Greenlight autonomous vehicles.” There’s also a dedicated website, social outreach, and more.
Here are the Coalition’s big-picture priorities:
- Ensure Congress is providing clarity concerning appropriate federal and state roles when it comes to highly automated vehicles, particularly any state laws or regulations related to their design or performance;
- Ensure Congress is directing the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to initiate rulemaking to update the current vehicle safety standards that do not contemplate highly automated vehicles; and
- Expand Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard exemptions, in number, duration and categories, to provide a safe mechanism for deploying highly automated vehicles.
