There is a battle going on in the halls of US congress about self-driving cars: to trust humans, or not to trust them. Less trusting legislators have seized the upper hand.
On Oct. 4, the U.S. Senate Commerce Committee unanimously approved a bill allowing self-driving cars to be sold without steering wheels or human controls, and prevent states from restricting such technology, reports Reuters. Before it becomes law, the final legislation must go to the full Senate and be reconciled with a similar bill passed by the U.S. House last month.
