(Bloomberg) -- Self-driving cars will get closer to appearing on American roads under a U.S. Transportation Department plan to speed their rollout.
Regulators will allow automakers that can demonstrate they have a safe autonomous vehicle to apply for exemptions to certain rules as part of the new approach, which is designed to ensure government doesn’t stand in the way of technological progress.
U.S. Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx is expected to announce the rules Thursday at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit.
