  • Autonomous vehicles are more and more of a presence on American streets and roads, and the Trump administration is trying to make sure there will be even more. On Thursday, the Department of Transportation rolled out its new Automated Vehicle framework, with the goal of making it easier and faster for companies to get AVs on the roads.

In a recent article from Marketplace dated April 25, 2025, it is discussed that former President Donald Trump has expressed support for increasing the presence of self-driving cars on American roads. However, the article highlights a significant public resistance to this technology.

Despite advancements and assurances from tech companies and automakers, incidents involving self-driving cars have fueled public fears and slowed down the adoption rate. The article also touches on the ongoing debates in Congress about regulations and the future of transportation, reflecting the broader societal and political challenges facing the rollout of self-driving technology.
