Evidence

Business Insider reported on June 26, 2026 that NHTSA proposed updating federal vehicle safety rules so vehicles designed to operate exclusively with automated driving systems would no longer require brake pedals, opening a public comment period for the change.

Federal regulators advanced a rule change easing controls requirements for fully driverless vehicles, which is a concrete policy step toward safer autonomous deployment.

The promise was to keep working with DOT and NHTSA to advance safe autonomous vehicle deployment. The cited June 26, 2026 NHTSA proposal to relax brake-pedal requirements for fully driverless vehicles is a concrete federal step in that direction, but the record does not show Robert E. Latta directly sponsored, wrote, or materially drove the action, and the promise is open-ended rather than fully completed. That supports partial credit rather than full delivery.
