Basically: ease rules of the road that are going to piss off a lot of actual humans who drive.

our new president and national cost-saving czar just so happens to have a self-driving car company with unsold units and waning demand — I bet that won't come into play at all

My friend from Phoenix uses a driverless jaguar almost every week and I can't believe the greater public really has no idea this is even happening.

Awesome progress from an agency that before November wasn't doing anything to make roads safer and was actively blocking technology solutions.
