“I believe there are many vehicle technologies in addition to autonomous vehicles that certainly have the ability to save lives. And as regulators we must do what we can to harness that potential. That's why I introduced the Vehicle Safety Research act with Chair Young to codify NHTSA's parts program to accelerate advanced driver assistance systems, their research and their development. It's also why last week I introduced the Vehicle Safety Equipment Testing act with Senator Fisher to speed the testing of vehicle safety technology so that they can be perfected and deployed quickly.” (07:36–07:48)
