Self Driving Car Update

Self driving cars are good for Nevada and California, but bring pause when Texas tries to legislate self driving car testing. 

Google and Automakers don’t appear to want self driving car legislation in Texas. Google registered opposed to Senator Ellis’ SB 1167 that seeks to set up a framework for testing self driving cars in Texas. Why?

• Alliance for Auto Manufacturers said, ““The concern is by putting pen to paper you actually could prematurely limit some of those types of developments.”
• “If we had gotten ahead, Sen. Ellis, of the internet, we probably wouldn’t have the internet today,” state Sen. Don Huffines, R-Dallas, said.
