That was local approval on a geofenced technology. The NTSB has not taken it up and with good reason: the tech doesnt exist.
How long will it take before they approve it on all highways across the US? My guess is it will have to happen elsewhere first.
As for education, a lot of students were forced to study at home during the pandemic. I think the system can just as easily be automated. Private schools can easily implement this early on. I remember Harvard has online courses that one can take at their leisure.
Most education takes place below college and in the public school system. 100% the government.
And even universities have to substantiate the high costs of tuition. They cannot do that with online courses.
