Social media highlights from the hearing

1) Emily Hathaway, Colorado DOT (on alternatives to a blanket driver requirement): "Establishing a path forward for operating these vehicles while ensuring they meet stringent safety standards is a solution our agencies would support, but we are unsupportive of the bill in its current form." (Suggested clip: 30-60 seconds from CDOT testimony.)

2) Capt. Gabe Easton, Colorado State Patrol (on road fatalities): "Last year in Colorado, over 700 people died on our roadways. The main factor in all of those crashes is human error." (Suggested clip: 15-30 seconds.)

3) Tammy Munoz, Teamsters Local 455 (labor perspective): "HB1286 is not an either-or bill. It's an and bill, one that addresses both public safety risk of fully autonomous semis operating on Colorado highways and the economic consequences of displaced trained drivers." (Suggested clip: 30-60 seconds.)
