“Self-driving cars, once a providence of science fiction, are quickly becoming a reality. Self-driving vehicle technology has the potential to increase access to transportation in our rural communities, freedom for those unable to drive today, and improved safety for thousands of Hoosiers and other citizens across the country. Furthermore, development of this innovative technology maintains America's technological leadership in the world and presents new economic opportunities for our citizens.

I ask my colleagues to join me today and vote in favor of this bipartisan package.”
