House Commerce to Consider Self-Driving Vehicle Legislation in Thursday Markup

The House Commerce Committee scheduled a Thursday markup of bills including self-driving car legislation "that prioritizes consumer safety, reduces traffic-related fatalities, and clarifies federal and state roles," said Chairman Greg Walden, R-Ore., in a news release. The panel will consider an amendment in the nature of a substitute to the Designating Each Car’s Automation Level Act (HR-3388) to address issues discussed during a markup last week when the House Digital Commerce Subcommittee advanced the bill (see 1707190044). The 10 a.m. full committee markup will be in 2123 Rayburn.
