WASHINGTON, DC - House Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Fred Upton (R-MI) today applauded the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s (NHTSA) decision to release documentation for the Vehicle-to-Vehicle Public Key Infrastructure (V2V PKI) initiative proposed by the agency. The documentation was published in the Federal Register on Thursday following the committee’s urging that the information be made public.
“We applaud NHTSA’s decision to release this documentation - the information will go a long way in improving roadway infrastructure and highway safety," said Upton. “It’s important that we give the experts and the public the opportunity to study the documentation and provide feedback to improve the V2V PKI and boost overall confidence in the system. This is a win for consumers, and we are glad we helped move the needle toward greater transparency."
