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 CORY ZAYANCE Daily Staff Reporter 420 Maynard St. Ann Arbor, MI 48109-1327 www.michigandaily.com ARTS SECTION arts@michigandaily.com SPORTS SECTION sports@michigandaily.com ADVERTISING dailydisplay@gmail.com NEWS TIPS news@michigandaily.com LETTERS TO THE EDITOR tothedaily@michigandaily.com EDITORIAL PAGE opinion@michigandaily.com NATHAN GUPTA Business Manager 734-418-4115 ext. 1241 nathankg@michigandaily.com EMMA KINERY Editor in Chief 734-418-4115 ext. 1251 kineryem@michigandaily.com PHOTOGRAPHY SECTION photo@michigandaily.com NEWSROOM 734-418-4115 opt. 3 CORRECTIONS corrections@michigandaily.com The Michigan Daily (ISSN 0745-967) is published Monday through Friday during the fall and winter terms by students at the University OF Michigan.

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. - MAYA GOLDMAN ON THE DAILY: PREHISTORIC DAY AT THE BIG HOUSE ROBERT BUECHLER/Daily Daisy, the golden retriever mascot for the Kerrytown Book Fest, poses for a photo in downtown An n Arbor Sunday.
