U.S. transportation regulators plan to take another step toward rewriting federal rules hampering the development and adoption of autonomous technologies -- from cars and trucks to buses and trains.
Department agencies will issue additional requests for comment to gather input from companies and the public on what rules affecting transport should change or be eliminated, Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao said in an interview Sunday. The move comes in addition to four requests for public comment released last week as highway, auto and transit regulators try to cast aside roadblocks to new advancements in transportation.
