By replacing today\u2019s patchwork of state regulations with a single federal standard, the BUILD America 250 Act would ensure Americans benefit from the safety and economic advantages that autonomous driving technology delivers. The bill would also set strong safety standards, affirming the U.S. Department of Transportation has the tools it needs to oversee the scaled rollout of autonomous trucks, while supporting American innovation and investing in the transportation workforce.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>Forward Looking Statements<\/strong>\n      <\/p>\n<p>This press release includes forward-looking statements including regarding Kodiak&#8217;s or its management teams&#8217; expectations, hopes, beliefs, intentions or strategies regarding the future.
