Self-Driving Car Coalition Draws Uber, Lyft, Google, Volvo and Ford
Volvo and Ford are teaming with Google and ride-sharing giants Uber and Lyft to advance the interests of self-driving cars.
On Tuesday the companies announced the Self-Driving Coalition for Safer Streets, a group that aims to push the development of self-driving vehicles among lawmakers, regulators, civic groups, businesses and local governments. The group’s spokesman is David Strickland, chief of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration from 2010 to 2014.
The coalition plans to work with policymakers to facilitate the deployment of self-driving cars, Strickland said in a statement, including creating “one clear set of federal standards” for autonomous vehicles.
