TREND. Self Driving Car laws. Federal Regulator says states should chill & look to this federal law for drafting inspiration.

Chair of the Federal Trade Commission, Maureen K. Ohlhausen, said lawmakers should:

  • ease up on self driving car laws
  • and if we’re protecting consumer information when it comes to self driving and connected cars, lawmakers should look to HIPPA as a drafting example

Why the call for caution? because too many different self driving car laws and rules will:

  • create unnecessary or duplicative regulation
  • innovation could slow or stop
  • ultimately consumers could be worse off.
