Nearly every member of the US House of Representatives voted in favor of H.R. 3388, otherwise known as the Safely Ensuring Lives Future Deployment and Research In Vehicle Evolution (SELF DRIVE) Act. The act passed subcommittee in July, and it left committee with a unanimous vote in its favor in that same month.

A basic summary of the bill is that it clarifies how responsibilities regarding the introduction of self-driving cars will be split between federal and state governments. As The Hill puts it, the act puts authority over the car in the hands of the feds, with authority over the driver remaining within the purview of state government.
