Musk lobbied Washington to clear the way for autonomous vehicle

According to sources familiar with the matter, Elon Musk is pushing lawmakers to help clear the way for autonomous vehicles, as part of his broader efforts to lobby for a key priority for Tesla (TSLA. O). In recent weeks, Mask and the people working for him have been calling members of Congress directly to seek support. He has also been considering amending a bill proposed on May 15, which will begin to establish the basic framework of autonomous vehicle. One of the informed sources said that the options discussed include accelerating the passage of the bill or submitting a more detailed similar bill before the Congress adjourns on July 4th.
