WASHINGTON, March 6 (Reuters) - The National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration will hold a national autonomous
vehicle safety forum that will include the CEOs of self-driving
companies Waymo, Zoox and Aurora on Tuesday.
The Trump administration is looking for ways to speed
deployment of robotaxis and address regulatory barriers, while
also scrutinizing safety issues. The meeting will include a
discussion with Alphabet-unit co-CEO Tekedra Mawakana,
Amazon's ( AMZN ) Zoox CEO Aicha Evans and Aurora CEO
Chris Urmson.
NHTSA is reviewing potential actions including "future
guidance on the safe domestic development, testing, and
deployment" of self-driving vehicles. The day-long session will
also review the use of remote assistance in robotaxis.
