On Oct. 4, the U.S. Senate Commerce Committee unanimously approved a bill to help get self-driving cars on the road.
While the bill still has to clear a Senate vote, it appears to be on the road to passage.
Via Reuters, John Thune, the Republican who chairs the Commerce Committee, says, the bill “underscores the bipartisan desire to move ahead with self-driving vehicle technology.... The safety and economic benefits of self-driving vehicles are too critical to delay.”

Miami Satellite Chapter Kickoff
The Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI) is coming to South Florida, and we are having a party to celebrate! If you are into drones, robots, rovers, or other unmanned or autonomous systems, this is one event you will not want to miss.
Come join members of AUVSI's Florida Peninsula Chapter as we formally dedicate the new Miami Satellite Chapter representing everything unmanned throughout all of South Florida, Latin America, the Caribbean, and beyond!
We've picked the legendary 94th Aero Squadron next to Miami International Airport as the backdrop for this historic event, and we pay hommage to past and current aviation, as we chart a new course into the future.
