The Trump administration is loosing rules to help U.S. automakers like Elon Musk's Tesla develop self-driving cars so they can take on Chinese rivals.

The U.S. Department of Transportation is set to relax regulations to facilitate the development and testing of self-driving cars by Tesla and other automakers, as announced on March 9, 2022. This initiative, part of a broader push to advance autonomous vehicle technology, will allow companies to deploy up to 2,500 self-driving vehicles annually without meeting certain traditional safety standards, such as those requiring steering wheels and mirrors. The move aims to accelerate the testing and deployment of self-driving technology on American roads, with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) emphasizing the importance of safety and the need for automakers to submit detailed safety plans. This regulatory change is seen as a significant step towards the future of transportation, potentially enhancing road safety and efficiency, though it also raises concerns about the readiness of the technology and its implications for public safety.
