WASHINGTON, July 23 (Reuters) - The U.S. Senate Commerce Committee will vote July 30 on President Donald Trump's nominee to head the nation's auto safety regulator, the panel said on Wednesday.
Jonathan Morrison, chief counsel of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in the first Trump administration, told lawmakers this month the agency must actively oversee self-driving vehicle technology.
The agency current has a number of investigations ongoing into self-driving vehicles and other advanced technologies, including a probe into 2.4 million Tesla TSLA.O vehicles with full self-driving technology.
