A draft was proposed by a group of US House Representatives that would forbid individual states from creating their own testing and design regulations for self-driving vehicles. The possible change would probably be welcomed by most of the companies involved with self-driving vehicle development.
“The draft legislation, while far from becoming law, still represents a victory for General Motors Co, Alphabet Inc, Tesla Inc and other automakers and technology companies who are seeking to persuade Congress and the Trump Administration to pre-empt rules under consideration in California, New York and other states that could limit deployment of self-driving vehicles,” insight from Reuters provides.
States would retain the right to control their own registration and insurance standards.
