Automakers want US to move faster on self-driving car rules

Big car companies are pushing the U.S. government to speed up regulations for self-driving vehicles, arguing that slow-moving rules are holding back innovation and leaving America at risk of falling behind other countries in the race to develop autonomous tech. They’re not asking for no rules—just clearer, faster ones.
Editor’s Note: If you’ve ever wondered why your neighbor’s Tesla seems smarter than most politicians, this is part of the reason. The tech for self-driving cars is advancing fast, but red tape could delay when (or if) it becomes mainstream. Automakers say quicker rules would help them invest and deploy safely, while critics worry about rushing safety standards. Either way, the pace of regulation could shape how soon you’re snoozing in your driver’s seat.
