According to @theallinpod, Pete Buttigieg stated in a recent interview that the Biden Administration could have done more to promote the adoption of autonomous vehicles, emphasizing the significant life-saving potential of AI-powered transportation. Buttigieg cited statistics that 100-150 people die daily in U.S. road accidents involving human drivers, noting that current autonomous vehicle technologies already demonstrate safety rates surpassing those of average human drivers. He acknowledged that there are actionable steps that could have expedited the deployment of self-driving cars. This underscores the growing business and regulatory opportunities for AI-driven mobility solutions, particularly in reducing traffic fatalities and improving transportation efficiency (source: @theallinpod via Sawyer Merritt, X, Oct 31, 2025).
