Resolved: The United States federal government substantially reform the use of Artificial Intelligence technology
This case seeks to solve a problem that the transportation industry commonly encounters: patchwork regulations. For autonomous vehicles (AVs), patchwork state regulations are making progress complicated and safety standards scattershot. These patchwork regulations are holding back the AV industry and ceding U.S. innovation to China. A baseline federal standard is needed. Enter the SELF-DRIVE Act. It passed the House of Representatives back in 2017 but didn’t get anywhere in the Senate. Now it’s back and needs to be passed. It gives the federal government authority over AV safety standards, creates cybersecurity standards for AVs, and proposes exemptions for a certain number of AVs. The bill isn’t perfect, but it’s a first step in creating standards that will clearly outline the benefits and drawbacks of AVs, for both the industry and the public. Good luck!
