Yesterday, Chairman Thune, Ranking Member Nelson and I released principles for bipartisan legislation that will address these problems.

We plan to introduce bipartisan legislation that will allow self-driving technology to continue moving forward while ensuring that it is done in a safe, responsible, and secure way.

Left unchanged, these standards would make it challenging for manufacturers to test and deploy these potentially life-saving vehicles.

Self-driving vehicles are poised to bring enormous disruption to our transportation networks that will improve our lives and our society.

Self-driving vehicles have the potential to make transportation smarter, safer, and more accessible.

I believe that public-private partnerships between the Department of Transportation, industry, academia, and proving grounds will help ensure continued American leadership in innovation.

That is a very positive development. For those 370,000 individuals, this is great news.

We commend Chairman Thune, Ranking Member Nelson, and Senator Peters for their commitment to pursue bipartisan legislation on automated vehicles.

Only the Federal Government can ensure a framework that encourages and enables the development of highly automated vehicles.

Public policy should spur this innovation, encourage testing, and permit nationwide deployment of vehicles across all levels of automation.

With more than 90 percent of those deaths attributable to human error, self-driving vehicles--which, after all, can't fall asleep, use drugs or alcohol, or get distracted by texting--have the potential to reduce these tragic numbers…

Uber thanks Chairman Thune, Ranking Member Nelson, Senator Peters and other members of the Committee for highlighting the importance of policy frameworks that enable companies able to deploy self-driving cars safely and rapidly.

Self-driving cars have the potential to bring unimaginable benefits to cities, and drastically improve quality of life for millions of people around the world.

IHS is committed to regular, meaningful tribal consultation and collaboration for a sound and productive relationship with the tribes.

I hope this Committee can move quickly on this legislation being discussed today.

I have been working at introducing new legislation in this Congress--as a matter of fact, we introduced it yesterday--that basically would exempt smaller institutions from the post Dodd-Frank HMDA data reporting requirements.

We need to have a profitable banking system, quite frankly, and we need to have credit unions out there that are doing what they need to do to make sure that they are serving their customers.

My concern is from a Montana perspective that if we continue without adjustment, with all the best of interest, we will end up not having access to capital in rural America.
