Jerry Moran (R-KS) and Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ), for championing this exciting new technology.” The Senate bill, and a companion bill passed by the U.S. House of Representatives (H.R. 1339) in November 2021, instruct the Department of Transportation to establish an AAM interagency working group to coordinate efforts related to the safety, operations, infrastructure, physical security, cybersecurity and federal investment OPENING L INES
