Congresswoman Debbie Dingell (MI-06) on July 26, 2023 spoke at an Energy and Commerce Innovation, Data, and Commerce Subcommittee legislative hearing titled, "Self-Driving Vehicle Legislative Framework: Enhancing Safety, Improving Lives and Mobility, and Beating China,” discussing both Dingell’s and Rep. Bob Latta’s (R-OH) draft proposals for a bipartisan federal autonomous vehicle framework.
“Michigan put the world on wheels and is the global center of automotive manufacturing and innovation. We must keep it this way. And, today, Michigan is the tip of the spear for the autonomous vehicle revolution—from technological development to manufacturing,” Dingell said in her opening remarks. “I firmly believe in the promise of AV technology: improved safety, expanded mobility, and greater economic prosperity. But if the United States is going to stay at the forefront, Congress must pass a comprehensive bipartisan federal AV framework that supports the safe, responsible deployment of AVs.”
In the hearing, lawmakers secured meaningful commitments from witnesses to work together to advance bipartisan AV legislation.
