The US House of Representatives is set to vote on the first federal laws for self-driving cars on Wednesday (6 September). These laws will open the door for the likes of Alphabet’s Waymo, Uber and General Motors to have more freedom in their self-driving tests.

The bill, which was passed by a House panel in July, would see automakers be allowed to deploy up to 25,000 self-driving vehicles without meeting existing auto safety standards in the first year, with the cap rising to 100,000 over three years.

“Self-driving vehicles stand to make our transportation system safer and more efficient. Advancing this technology to road-ready requires government policy that encourages continued testing and development,” Kevin McCarthy, Republican house majority leader, told Reuters in a statement. “This formula is the foundation for what makes America the most innovative country in the world.”

The bill will be voted on under fast-track rules, so no amendments are allowed to be made. It would require auto manufacturers to submit safety assessment reports to regulators, but they would not need any approval beforehand. The automakers must demonstrate that their self-driving vehicles are at least as safe as existing vehicles.

The proposal would also give states the power to set rules on registration, licensing, liability, insurance and safety inspections, but does not give states the power to set self-driving performance standards.
