The government wants to speed up autonomous vehicle development

I’m sure many of us would agree that autonomous vehicle technology is progressing at a rapid pace, but the government seems to think that it’s not progressing fast enough. According to Reuters, the Obama administration plans to announce a new autonomous vehicle initiative later today, which it hopes will speed up the development of autonomous vehicles. The initiative will primarily focus on the regulatory side of things, which means the government will be laying down some proper legal framework and guidelines for the companies that are developing the technology.
