U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy has introduced a new framework designed to accelerate the development and deployment of autonomous vehicle technologies. The initiative is intended to bolster the competitiveness of American automakers as they face growing challenges from China in the rapidly evolving automotive industry.
Speaking at a press briefing, Duffy emphasized the importance of innovation in maintaining the United States’ leadership in automotive technology. ‘This framework will provide clear guidelines that support safe development, testing, and deployment of autonomous vehicles, ensuring U.S. companies stay ahead in the global market,’ he said.
The new regulations aim to streamline approval processes, enhance safety protocols, and encourage investment in emerging transportation technologies. Industry leaders and policymakers have praised the move as a necessary step to keep pace with China, which has heavily invested in autonomous and electric vehicle sectors.
Further details on the timeline for implementation and specific regulatory adjustments will be released in the coming months, according to the Department of Transportation.
