The House Energy and Commerce Committee plans to mark up a bill July 27 that would regulate autonomous vehicles, amid questions about whether lawmakers should set cybersecurity standards for the emerging technology.
U.S. drivers may be slow to adopt autonomous vehicles being developed by companies such as Ford Motor Co. and Tesla Inc. because of worries about hacks that could result in vehicle theft or harm to occupants, consumer surveys have shown. Cybersecurity fears are second only to worries about perceived higher vehicle expenses among barriers to consumer adoption, according to a September 2016 survey by Kelley Blue Book, a vehicle research and valuation company.
