OK, but it should be mandatory that all feds can only use these cars.
Even if a system that actually performed well in a 100% autonomous mode was available, how is having manual override for safety actions like braking a bad thing? Why would you ever remove that? Removing it provides zero benefit whatsoever.
To be fair, it says brake pedal - there are other possible means of activating a brake such as an old school emergency brake lever.
The “benefit” is, of course, money saved for their own pockets.
Removes requirements for hand- or foot-operated brake controls for vehicles designed never to be operated by a human
No this would remove requirements even for emergency/hand brake.
‘These lifeboats are taking up too much deck space on the Titanic.”
Then states need to ban autonomous cars from public roads.
I guess it stops the feds having to do the dirty work of cutting people’s brake cables.
