For Immediate Release<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Small business truckers eager to see top priorities addressed in autonomous vehicle legislation<\/h3>\n

The Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association, the nation\u2019s only organization that represents small business and professional truckers, looks forward to working with elected officials to address its top priorities for upcoming autonomous truck legislation.<\/p>\n

Earlier today, the U.S. Senate Committee on Commerce, Science & Transportation advanced legislation specific to passenger vehicles. A similar bill covering autonomous truck technology is also expected to be developed.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will work closely with members of the Commerce Committee to craft legislation that takes into account the impact autonomous technology will have on professional drivers, small businesses and most importantly, highway safety,\u201d said Todd Spencer, executive vice president of OOIDA.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have provided Senators a list of items we feel must be included in an independent autonomous truck bill and are eager to work together on ensuring these priorities are properly addressed in future legislation,\u201d said Spencer.<\/p>\n

OOIDA\u2019s\u00a0list<\/a>\u00a0of priorities for a truck-specific bill include studies analyzing certain impacts changing technology would have across the trucking industry, such as job displacement and costs versus benefits for small businesses.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe also want to make sure that several safety and security issues are appropriately addressed specific to the needs of large trucks,\u201d added Spencer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
