Excited to be back @
michigandaily this weekend
during bicentennial year
celebrations @UMich. I owe
everything to that place.
The House of Representatives
unanimously
passed
a
bill
that will pave the way for
advancements
in
self-driving
automobile
technology.
The
bill, titled the “Safely Ensuring
Lives Future Deployment and
Research in Vehicle Evolution
Act” or the “SELF DRIVE Act,”
was supported by Rep. Debbie
Dingell, D-Mich. and sponsored
by Rep. Robert Latta, R-Ohio.
The SELF DRIVE Act aims
to advance safety by prioritizing
the protection of consumers and
reaffirming the role of federal
and state governments in the
future self-driving technology.
The
Energy
and
Commerce
Committee’s website read the
legislation
will
“update
the
federal motor vehicle safety
standards to account for advances
in technology and the evolution
of highly automated vehicles”
and
“maximize
opportunities
for research and development
here in the U.S. to create jobs and
grow economic opportunities so
that America can remain a global
leader in this industry.”
In a press release, Dingell said
she believes the bill brings many
benefits to the United States.
“Today, with passage of the
SELF DRIVE Act, we are one
step closer to reshaping American
innovation for generations to
come,” Dingell said. “Automated
vehicles
have
the
potential
to transform mobility in this
country – reducing congestion
on our roads, providing greater
independence to seniors and
those
with
disabilities
and
helping to prevent the 35,000
deaths on our roadways each
year.”
Business sophomore Bethany
Zalewski
is
involved
with
research in driver behavior and
trust with autonomous vehicles.
She shared her hopes for the
legislation’s impact in the real
world.
“This could reduce distracted
driving, drunk driving or texting
and driving,” Zalewski said. “The
University of Michigan and Mcity
are definitely playing a big role
in developing these self-driving
cars.”
The SELF DRIVE Act has
important implications for the
University’s campus, such as
research institute Mcity.
Director of Mcity Huei Peng
believes the SELF DRIVE Act
is important for the research
institute.
“Many of the laws in the past
were developed based on the
belief that the vehicle is driven
by a human operator, but as we
are developing new technology
and some of the language used
in these rules may no longer
apply,” Peng said. “I think
for the research community
that is working on automated
vehicles, certainty this is a
very important, positive step
forward.”
According to Peng, there
are three levels of autonomous
vehicles: Guardian, which acts
as a last resort for safety in case
a driver is distracted; Co-pilot,
which features cruise control
and a constant safe distance
between cars; and Chauffeur,
which is a completely driverless
vehicle.
The benefits of self-driving
cars are numerous. According
to a study from the Eno
Center
for
Transportation,
if 90 percent of cars were
autonomous, as many as 21,700
lives could be saved per year in
addition to the $447 billion in
economic benefits.
“Safety
is
number
one,
because today there is plenty of
evidence that today’s drivers are
getting more distracted: people
keep talking on their phones,
Houses passes bill paving way for
increases in self-driving car tech
The legislation brings many benefits to autonomous vehicle research and industry

It seems that last Saturday’s
football game will go down as
pre-historic.
Fans watched in awe at
halftime as the Michigan
Marching Band was accompanied
by a pack of people in
Tyrannosaurus rex costumes,
dancing to the band’s rendition
of the theme song from “Jurassic
Park.”
The dancing dinos were
part of a larger show from the
marching band, where they
debuted the new college band
master series from composers
John Williams and Hal Leonard.
In addition to the “Jurassic Park”
theme song, the series includes
the main title from “Star Wars”
and “Adventures on Earth” from
the finale of “E.T.”
Fans loved it, some hailing it
as one of the best halftime shows
they’d ever seen.
The band was proud of their
performance as well. According
to Engineering sophomore Jack
Teener, they practiced for about
two weeks to get the dance just
right, but only had one full dress
rehearsal with the T-rex dancers
in costume. The band knows
its set a high bar for itself, but
Teener is optimistic the rest of
the season will be just as great.
“One thing that was kind of
different about that show is that
we had a lot more time to put
it all together,” he said. “But I
think it’s always gonna be great.”
The show gained national
attention, and news outlets
such as ESPN and USAToday
published videos of the T-rex
portion of it on their websites.
Michigan fan Janine Kerr
summed it up with her tweet on
Saturday.
