Next month's "summit" is to help "identify priority federal and non-federal activities that can accelerate the safe rollout" of autonomous vehicles, the department said. It will also be open to the public. The U.S. National Highway Traffic-Safety Administration (NHTSA) wants comments on what research to conduct before deciding whether to eliminate or rewrite regulations. It could take the agency years to finalize rule changes, and advocates are pushing Congress to act. The March 1 meeting at the department's headquarters in Washington will include "several stakeholder breakout sessions on various topics related to automation," NHTSA said.

Just another "confab" to get this shit on the road even faster.

That alone should tell you all you need to know about government driven cars.

(They are NOT autonomous. The car you drive now is "autonomous". These abominations will be under strict government control and surveillance at all times.)

Because the government has the power to put them out of business. They don't want to anger the plantation owner.

That and they realize that their current business model is unsustainable.

They are looking forward to the rental fleet model.
