Senate Fails to Pass House-Backed Autonomous Vehicle Legislation

The Senate last week failed to pass autonomous vehicle legislation (see 1812060041). Failure to pass the AV Start Act, from Senate Commerce Committee Chairman John Thune, R-S.D., and Sen. Gary Peters, D-Mich., threatens U.S. efforts to “be the leader in the advancement and development of this potentially life-saving technology,” House Commerce Chairman Greg Walden, R-Ore., said.
