US House panel to vote on self-driving car legislation
Washington
A US House subcommittee will vote on Wednesday on a sweeping proposal to allow carmakers to deploy up to 100,000 self-driving vehicles without meeting existing vehicle safety standards and bar states from imposing driverless car rules.
The measure, which would be the first significant federal legislation aimed at speeding self-driving cars to market, would require carmakers to submit safety assessment reports to US regulators, but would not require pre-market approval of advanced vehicle technologies.
