Multifaceted interactions of humans and Autonomous Systems and complex with the technical systems. I have conducted driving research and provided future Technology Recommendations to automotive manufacturers for more than a dozen years including ford, nissan, toyota, google x, and i was the Program Manager for 100 million Navy Robotics helicopter that carries the very same sense or sensors that you see on cars today and im on the interaction of selfdriving cars and pedestrians. While i enthusiastically support the research and development of selfdriving cars im less optimistic of what i perceive to be a rush to field systems that are really not ready for widespread deployment. Here are a few scenarios that highlight the scenarios of selfdriving cars. Bad weather, including standing water on roadways, drizzling rain, sudden downpours and snow. Coupling this these limitations to follow a traffic policemans gestures especially on a rainy day in a poncho, means selfdriving cars should not
Some argue that nrcs regulations are impeding u. S. Competitiveness allowing other countries like china to get ahead of us. We think the opposite is true. The. The reputation of the nrc for being a Gold Standard as senator has pointed out is a good brand and so the undersea reputation for regular safety review only and enhances that brand. We do not think we should be engaged with china and other countries on a regulatory race to the bottom just to secure we believe the focus of the bill and nrc licensee is misplaced and will do little to facilitate the deployment of advance reactors in the us. Licensing process may be a convenient target but we think the nrc is being scapegoated for more formidable institutional barriers. These. These include a lack of support for governmentfunded energy, the enormously high cost for commercializing any. Reporter reactor, and the lack of interest in making those investments and the failure of the socalled Nuclear Power entrepreneurs to put any signifi

J i understand utg. S. Waste water was the largest earthquake every reported in oklahoma. 5 mnt 27. The impacts of quakes induced by frakingrelated waste water arent limit today oklahoma. There have been quakes in kansas, texas, colorado and elsewhere. In some cases, i think establishing the link to the untrained person might seem obvious. New injection wells start up and then the injection stops and the quake stops. But i understand that its not that simple. You know, its a topic that we might devote an entire hearing to. Ranking member defozio, previously, along with then well, with Ranking Member waxman of energy and commerce. Im pleased they have called for such a hearing. We can touch on the subject, i believe, in this hearing. And that mielgts be helpful. And im sure there were other points that all the witnesses can make about what we have yet to learn. What research we have yet to sponsor. Who studies yet need to be done in earthquakes that continue to happen in usually unpredi
The size and scope of the data sets and how theyre being used is something this administration has taken very seriously. Most recently john podesta, the counselor to the president , its about as high as you can go to ask the question, produce the big data report, and it presented a very balanced view of, well, look, there are serious benefits that are derived from encrypting things. So, for example, whether its the internet of things and Rising Energy efficiency, how the grid is allocating energy across sectors, incredibly important. Forits health data. Youre able to detect and respond to an epidemic more quickly than you would otherwise or for law enforcement, mechanisms by which you can use data in order to produce something that produces a public good and makes us all better and happier. You have to balance that with the fact that data can be used for good things and bad things. What are those bad things and what can we do about the use of that bad thing . The fact that someone does
