The U.S. House on Wednesday unanimously approved a sweeping proposal to speed the deployment of self-driving cars without human controls by putting federal regulators in the driver's seat and barring states from blocking autonomous vehicles.
The House measure, the first significant federal legislation aimed at speeding self-driving cars to market, would allow automakers to obtain exemptions to deploy up to 25,000 vehicles without meeting existing auto safety standards in the first year. The cap would rise over three years to 100,000 vehicles annually.
How will the young impress each other with their mad driving skillz now?

That ship sailed over 75 years ago. Even before the advent of the Interstate System, automobiles were standardized, if not by Federal DOT, them by the of manufacturers serving the entire country.
You really can't have States Rights rule things that are designed to travel state to state. Its amazing California gets away with their private emissions standards.
No, you are mistaken. I've always had this sig.
