U.S. House unanimously approves sweeping self-driving car measure

The bill now goes to the Senate and would allow automakers to obtain exemptions to deploy up to 25,000 vehicles without meeting existing auto safety standards in the first year, a cap that would rise to 100,000 vehicles annually over three years.

Automakers and technology companies including General Motors Co and Alphabet Inc‘s self-driving unit Waymo have been pushing for new federal rules making it easier to deploy self-driving technology. (Reporting by David Shepardson)
