Trump wants to ease U.S. rules for self-driving cars

Members of Donald Trump’s transition team reportedly plan to create a federal framework for fully self-driving vehicles in the United States.

Details thus far are few, according to the Associated Press. But it’s clear that anything that facilitates the nationwide deployment of self-driving vehicles directly benefits Tesla CEO Elon Musk, whose vehicles distinguish themselves with the technology, and who has ingratiated himself with the president-elect.

It would take an act of Congress to create federal rules for self-driving vehicles. In the meantime the Transportation Department, via the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, can (and has) set rules that would facilitate autonomous vehicles on the road. But much of its guidance is not binding. 

Trump hasn’t yet named a candidate for Transportation secretary. One name reportedly in consideration? Emil Michael, the former chief business officer of Uber.
