    Congress Faces FAA Deadline, Eyes Taxes, Infrastructure

    The House and Senate is expected to extend the Federal Aviation Administration's authorization before it expires Sept. 30, and then soon turn to such issues as tax cuts and perhaps an infrastructure investment plan. Lawmakers were reportedly largely agreed that they would approve another simple extension of the FAA by month's end without tackling controversial proposals to spin off its air traffic control functions to a new nonprofit corporation. However, various reports said

    Why Cities Are Concerned About Self-Driving Vehicle Legislation in Congress

    WASHINGTON — Some city government officials and advocacy groups say they are uneasy about aspects of self-driving vehicle legislation that is taking shape in the U.S. Senate. They’re worried the legislation could undercut the ability of cities to enforce local traffic laws. They also want to ensure that states and localities have ample access to self-driving vehicle data, which might be used to identify safety risks and to manage roadways. There are other questions as well. L
