美國交通部周四宣布，該部組建了一個新的自動化委員會（Automation Committee），主要負總責對自動化交通提出建議。蘋果的環境、政策和社會項目副總裁，前奧巴馬的政府官員麗莎·約翰遜（Lisa Jackson）也加入了該委員會。

當然，她並非唯一加入該委員會的科技巨頭高管。該委員會共有25名成員


，與約翰遜一起加入委員會的還有Alphabet（穀歌母公司）自動駕駛汽車項目Waymo的CEO John Krafcik
，還有來自Uber、亞馬遜
、Zoox（神秘的無人車初創公司）、Lyft和Hyperloop One的高管。

該委員會將由通用公司CEO MaryBarra共同主持。

下周，新成立的委員會將召開第一次會議，將“立即著手自動化汽車的發展與部署上
，並就交通部繼續進行相關研究

、實施相關政策及開展相關監管的必要性作出決定”。

隨著科技的發展，自動化將在交通運輸的各個領域充當重要的角色，如汽車、公交車
、火車、飛機和UAS（無人機）係xi統tong。而er該gai委wei員yuan會hui在zai自zi動dong化hua帶dai來lai的de機ji遇yu和he挑tiao戰zhan中zhong，扮ban演yan的de角jiao色se至zhi關guan重zhong要yao。他ta們men需xu要yao開kai放fang溝gou通tong渠qu道dao，以yi便bian利li益yi相xiang關guan者zhe能neng夠gou學xue習xi和he收shou到dao最zui新xin的de反fan饋kui。

去年12月份，蘋果對國家公路交通安全管理局證實
，公司正在研發無人駕駛汽車。目前，蘋果無人駕駛汽車項目 “Project Titan”有約1000名員工，雖然蘋果很有可能隻是研發自動駕駛汽車軟件，而並非自己造車。（露天）
