On the afternoon of September 28th, Beijing time, two U.S. senators announced on Wednesday that they have reached a bipartisan agreement on a key piece of legislation aimed at accelerating the development and deployment of driverless cars. This move is expected to address critical regulatory hurdles that have slowed down the industry's progress. Let’s take a closer look at the details with our car electronics editor.
U.S. Senator John Thune, a Republican, and Senator Gary Peters, a Democrat, revealed that they have finalized an agreement on the bill and plan to bring it to a vote on October 4. The draft legislation is set to be released on Thursday, offering more clarity on its provisions.
Major automakers and tech companies, including General Motors, Alphabet (Google), and Ford, have been actively pushing for this legislative change. They argue that current U.S. laws prevent fully autonomous vehicles from being tested or used on public roads. These companies are advocating for a streamlined regulatory framework to support innovation and safety improvements.
However, according to sources familiar with the matter, the draft does not include large commercial trucks, which may limit the scope of the bill. In a joint statement, Thune and Peters emphasized the potential benefits of autonomous technology: “We expect that the widespread adoption of driverless technology will save lives, enhance mobility for people with disabilities, and create new job opportunities.â€
Earlier this month, the U.S. House of Representatives unanimously passed a similar bill, which also excluded vehicles weighing over 10,000 pounds (approximately 4,500 kilograms). This suggests a growing consensus across both chambers of Congress to support the advancement of self-driving technology, while maintaining certain safety standards.
This upcoming vote marks a significant step forward in the U.S. effort to modernize transportation regulations.
