Public state: unverified As of unknown · legacy_unverified · . Original AI recommendation (not independently established): delivered. same_term

Latta materially advanced the SELF DRIVE Act in the 115th Congress: the bill text incorporated the claimed safety, NHTSA authority, privacy/transparency, and innovation provisions, and the House passed it in September 2017. It did not become law because the Senate did not act, but the promise was to advance the act rather than to secure final enactment. On that narrower federal legislative standard, committee advancement and House passage count as delivery during the same term.
