Set up with the feds?


FED UP WITH FEDS: WHEN WILL  LAWMAKERS AND. POLICY PEOPLE  GET THEIR  REAR BUMPERS  IN GEAR AND LEAD?



Several “self-driving”  news sources pointed out  that Minnesota  is now engaging in the process of  developing  laws  and policies  related to self-driving.  They are not the firsat state to do so and will be not. Be the last.  In other news, Tesla announced putting. A more powerful processor in their new cars and WAYMO announced they would  share data and be testing in Arizona dusts storms.   I link these two events because  they are very much the same.  How? WAYMO is trying to navigate a geographic space where the environment is very unclear and  in order to move forward  the appropriate thing to do is to  act and get their knowledge base  up to speed so that things will progress.  Well that needs to happen.at the federal government level when it comes to self-driving.  Automation of the driving (and many other processes) industry is inevitable.  Congress should be showing leadership in this area  but is just sitting there because it is too complicated.  Let’s make it simple.  Transformative  change in transportation  needs tohappen because lack of. Mobility impacts the lives of way too many  citizens.  Instead of  sitting back ands trying to decide which modes of transportation must be affordable and accessible it’s time to say “they all must and move to the question how do we make that happen?” Asa reader of this  blog—or the friend of this blog—or no matter who you are —please ask your local policy makers to share their plans to incorporate  self-driving into the transportation infrastructure.  If they  don’t have a response then ask them why they don’t
We’re not asking for a wall here...we may be asking to tear one down, but, as the federal folks sit idly  by state after state struggles to build  the cars of the future and the  environment around them.... Do we need 50. Sets of laws.  Which brings  me full circle. Back to Minnesota.  It is the land of 1,000 lakes and while those are pretty when we get to be the country of 1,000  conflicts  based on local transit  laws....and that would truly be a massive  pile-up on I-27 or I-35


So can the press start asking congress to  get. This done or decide to only  provide updates  on. What just happpened rather than providing. A. Push to educate.lawmakers... I. Have my opinion
