The first federal bill that deals with automated cars recently cleared the United States House of Representatives Energy and Commerce Committee, and is now pending action before the full House.
The "Safely Ensuring Lives Future Deployment and Research In Vehicle Evolution" (SELF DRIVE) Act aims to facilitate the testing and distribution of highly automated vehicles (HAVs).
The bill (H.R. 3388) was originally introduced to the House Energy and Commerce Committee as the "Designating Each Car's Automation Level Act" (DECAL) Act. But during markup on July 25, 2017, it was replaced with the SELF DRIVE Act. However, it still retains its designation as H.R. 3388.
