I, like the Chairman, am very hopeful about the prospect of self-driving cars.

I appreciate the efforts of Senator Peters, who has made this a signature issue.

I am very hopeful about the prospect of self-driving cars, and I appreciate the efforts of the chairman to arrange this event at the Washington Auto Show.

I was almost one of those traffic statistics this morning.

And I would like to conclude my remarks and questions by asking Dr. Avent what is going to be the impact of this new kind of quickly developing technology upon our educational system?

I believe it is the biggest thing to happen to the auto industry since the first car came off of the assembly line.

For instance, like Senator Nelson said today, when someone makes a U-turn out in the middle of the road, that is a six sigma event that happens once in a million times.

I am very excited about my state of Florida's role in the development of autonomous technology.

I fully intend to continue working with Chairman Thune and Senator Peters to get this piece of legislation to the president's desk.

Thank you for your leadership and commitment to the safe deployment of automated vehicles onto the public roads.

I think you will see cities creating disincentives for cars that pollute and that are human-driven.

Transportation remains a very real target for terrorists and those wishing to do harm.
