(Original title: The key consensus of the U.S. self-driving automotive legislation, allowing 25,000 cars to be delivered in the first year)
News News Trainee Reporter Cheng Tianmeng Comprehensive Report
The United States has taken a step closer to allowing legal automakers to get on the road.
According to a Reuters report on September 28, two US senators said that when the US Senate accepted the Autonomous Driving Car Act, it removed the part of large commercial trucks. This is an important consensus reached between the two parties on the evening of September 27 local time. The bill will be submitted to the relevant committee for voting on October 4. The text will be announced on October 5.
Previously on September 6, the driverless car bill had been overwhelmingly passed in the US House of Representatives.
The bill passed by the U.S. House of Representatives provides immunity for driverless cars, allowing the driverless cars to be outside the current automotive safety regulations. In addition, Reuters also said that the bill allows automakers to put 25,000 self-driving cars into the market in the first year, and this number will reach 100,000 vehicles in three years.
After the bill was submitted to the US Senate, it faced a more rigorous review. The Wall Street Journal reported on September 6th that this is because unmanned cars may bring a lot of unemployment to the freight industry and consumer safety standards will also be taken into consideration.
Reuters reported on September 28th that in the process of accepting the US Senate’s legislation, the Democratic Party and the union leaders demanded that the truck portion be deleted, while the Republican Party support the inclusion of trucks. The two parties finally reached a consensus that the contents of large commercial trucks will not be included in the bill.
In response, the American Trucking Associations expressed disappointment. According to a Reuters report on September 29, the president of the association, Chris Spear, said in a statement: "If cars and trucks are driving the same road together, they should apply the same regulations."
In fact, in order to accelerate the legislation for driverless cars, many self-driving car manufacturers in the United States have actively engaged in lobbying so that new technologies for autonomous driving can be applied to new models faster, General Motors Co. , Google's parent companies such as Alphabet (Alphabet Inc) and Ford Motor Co (Ford Motor Co) are among them. With the promotion of automobile enterprises, the legislative progress has been relatively smooth.
Some public opinion also maintains optimism about the passage of the bill in the Senate. The tech website TNW stated on September 30 that it is expected that the US Senate’s bill tone will be similar to the House bill. If the bill passes, millions of self-driving cars will enter the market in the next few years.
Foreign media generally believe that this legislation reflects the support of the United States for the development of self-driving cars and will ensure that the United States continues to maintain its leading position in the world in autonomous driving technology.
