“The department should ensure a tech-neutral approach to addressing any emerging transportation technology while keeping safety as the number one priority. As part of this, it should work to facilitate the safe and full integration of automated vehicles into the national transportation system.”

Context:
I didn’t have “supports self-driving cars” on my Project 2025 bingo card, but here we are. By default, that’s support for electric vehicles – 58% of self-driving cars are electric, and an additional 21% are hybrids. This doesn’t fit with the rest of the Project’s vehement pro-fossil fuel / anti-environment stance. (She indicates later that she is not aware of this fact.)
