DOT has broad authority under transportation law in the U.S. Code to establish a performance-based approach to reduce transportation-related air pollution. It is clear that congressionally established goals, including “to protect and enhance the environment and improve quality of life,” cannot be achieved if carbon pollution and other greenhouse gases are not included in the performance measures for our transportation systems.

While GPS mapping was groundbreaking, auto manufacturers and tech companies are now rushing to create sophisticated, ultra-precise maps of cities and every possible inch of road throughout the United States. The primary objective is to build functional and thorough digital representations of urban environments that autonomous vehicles, drones, and other automated technologies can use to safely navigate to any destination.

Are autonomous vehicles the “next big thing” to transform our transportation system? If so, how soon, and what are the consequences for both safety and environmental values? Federal oversight agencies are focusing on safety first, but they can do more than one thing at a time.
