U.S. lawmakers and industry leaders are advocating for a national regulatory framework for autonomous vehicles and a push for increased domestic automotive manufacturing. During an event in Washington, D.C., Representative Erin Houchin (R-Indiana) called for progress on the SELF DRIVE Act. This legislation aims to grant the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration authority over self-driving cars, mandate increased crash data sharing, and implement stricter safety requirements.

Houchin emphasized the necessity of federal clarity due to the role of autonomous vehicles in interstate commerce. She also expressed support for banning Chinese-manufactured vehicles from the U.S. market to mitigate technological risks from adversarial nations.

In the private sector, Honda executive vice president Noriya Kaihara indicated that the company is seeking to collaborate with the Trump administration to bolster domestic manufacturing. Kaihara also highlighted the importance of regional trade agreements, such as the trilateral agreement involving the U.S. and Mexico, as resources for manufacturing development.
