Elon Musk is lobbying lawmakers on driverless vehicle rules


Musk and others in his orbit have been calling members of Congress directly, according to Bloomberg.

His efforts appear to be directed at a bill introduced May 15 called the Autonomous Vehicle Acceleration Act.

Tesla also wants to eventually roll out autonomous vehicles — branded Cybercabs — that don’t have a steering wheel or pedals.
