Advocates Call for Federal Self-Driving Rules, Manufacturing
Lawmakers and industry leaders said a federal standard would reduce patchwork rules and support safer autonomous vehicles and domestic production.
- Rep. Erin Houchin, R-Indiana, called for the SELF DRIVE Act in Washington to establish federal oversight of self-driving cars under the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration across the United States.
- Lacking a federal framework forces companies to navigate 50 different states, Kinsey Fabrizio, CEO of the Consumer Technology Association, noted, creating regulatory fragmentation that hinders innovation.
- Houchin supported a ban on cars manufactured in China, citing security concerns about unknown technology imports while calling for increased domestic vehicle manufacturing before Congress adjourns in December.
- Fabrizio expressed skepticism about fully returning manufacturing to the United States, instead encouraging firms to invest in friendly partner nations to maintain reliability and efficiency standards.
- Noriya Kaihara, executive vice president of Honda, emphasized the North American Free Trade Agreement's importance while collaborating with Trump to expand affordable hybrid vehicle production domestically.
