The push

Under the guise of 'we must keep up with China', US transportation system is about to be fundamentally transformed in a way that negates freedom of movement and it's all being ushered in by Trump admin.
USA and China
The Department of Transportation said Thursday it will ease safety regulations for the development of self-driving vehicles in a move designed to maintain U.S. global dominance in the industry.
The program will exempt U.S. automakers from safety regulations for automated vehicles, or Avs, intended for research or demonstration purposes, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s (NHTSA) letter.
Transportation Secretary Sean P. Duffy said in a statement:
“This administration understands that we’re in a race with China to out-innovate, and the stakes couldn’t be higher.”
Duffy stated that the move is part of the DOT’s innovation agenda to move the United States “closer to a single national standard” that promotes innovation by removing regulatory barriers.
NHTSA’s chief counsel, Peter Simshauser, said the move would allow AV manufacturers to “develop faster and spend less time on unnecessary process, while still advancing safety.”

Bold and necessary step
The Autonomous Vehicle Industry Association (AVIA) said in a statement that it welcomes the administration’s new framework, touting it as a “bold and necessary step” to boost the country’s transition to automated vehicles.
They claim these autonomous vehicles will make the roads safer (by taking driving out of human hands and placing it into the realm of AI) without addressing the loss of privacy and freedom of movement. Self-driving cars are also cars that can be remotely shut down.
Humanity 2.0
Project Stargate was launched by the White House on day one of its second term in partnership with arch-technocrats Larry Ellison of Oracle and Sam Altman of Open AI. Elon Musk and Peter Thiel are also big-time technocrats with tremendous influence on the Trump White House.
Ellison, Altman, Musk and Thiel all have one thing in common — they are technocrats trying to replace humans with AI in almost every capacity. Live links and more at https://leohohmann.substack.com/p/the-push-toward-ai-powered-self-driving
