Freight Groups Press Biden Administration on AV Policy
Freight stakeholders are calling on the U.S. Department of Transportation to proceed with implementing a regulatory framework for autonomous vehicle technology.
The groups, which include American Trucking Associations, point to potential economic and safety benefits linked to nationwide access to the technology’s applications.
“Implementing a federal [automated vehicles] framework that fosters the safe deployment of AVs can help the Biden administration to shepherd in a safer, more environmentally friendly and accessible transportation future,” the groups wrote the department in September.
