"The federal government is the one that needs to lead when it comes to vehicle design, construction and performance, and we just have not seen enough action out of the federal government in recent years," Jeff Farrah, who heads the Autonomous Vehicle Industry Association, said in an interview.
The group released a policy framework calling on the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) to "assert its responsibility over the design, construction, and performance of autonomous vehicles and increase its efforts in key areas."
"Federal inaction has created regulatory uncertainty" and warned China is determined to take the United States lead on autonomous vehicle technology.
"We want to make sure there is a clear pathway to getting these next-generation vehicles on the road," said Farrah. "We have been frustrated by the lack of progress."
