The Obama administration wants to get autonomous cars out on the road.
Top administration officials will reveal a plan Thursday to accelerate development of self-driving cars, according to Reuters.
Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx will discuss details at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit. Foxx aims to set policies for self-driving cars before President Obama leaves office at the end of this year. Many experts believe that the U.S. will see a surge in autonomous vehicles by 2020.
“On these types of questions, we as an agency should produce guidance on how we are going to approach this technology, and how we want the industry to approach it.” Foxx said in an interview with Re/code.
