Directs the Secretary of Transportation to establish an emerging technology research pilot program that will conduct research and development related to advanced and additive manufacturing technologies and automated driving and advanced driver-assistance systems
Analysis summaries, actor details, and coverage mappings were LLM-classified and may contain errors.
This is a binding federal statute enacted by the United States Congress with mandatory language establishing a pilot program and appropriating federal funds.
This document has minimal risk domain coverage, primarily addressing AI system safety and robustness (7.3) through research into infrastructure impacts of automated driving systems. It does not substantively address AI-specific risks but rather focuses on physical infrastructure research related to emerging technologies.
The document primarily governs the Trade, Transportation and Utilities sector through research on automated vehicle impacts on transportation infrastructure. It also addresses Agriculture, Mining, Construction and Manufacturing through research on advanced and additive manufacturing technologies for infrastructure.
The document primarily addresses the Verify and Validate stage through research and development activities testing the impacts of automated driving systems on infrastructure. It implicitly covers Plan and Design through research to improve infrastructure design in anticipation of automated systems.
The document focuses on automated and connected driving systems and advanced driver-assistance systems, representing task-specific AI applications. It does not mention AI models, foundation models, generative AI, or compute thresholds. The scope is limited to specific autonomous vehicle technologies.
United States Congress
The document is a section of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act enacted by the United States Congress, which has legislative authority to establish federal programs and appropriate funds.
Secretary of Transportation
The Secretary of Transportation is explicitly designated as the authority responsible for establishing and carrying out the pilot program, with administrative authority to implement the research activities.
Secretary of Transportation
The Secretary of Transportation is implicitly responsible for monitoring the pilot program's implementation and research activities, though no explicit monitoring provisions are detailed in this section.
The document targets entities involved in developing and deploying automated and connected driving systems and advanced driver-assistance systems, as well as those using advanced and additive manufacturing technologies for infrastructure. While no specific entities are named, the research program addresses technologies developed by AI developers and infrastructure providers.
