I believe this should be final. One item though is that a few of the folks below are not citizens and do not hold a US passport. One of them (Gautam Narang) filled out the attached form but I am not sure if this is necessary. Can you please advise on whether the others need to fill this form out and if so please provide the blank form for me to send to them to get completed?

Need another hour or so to confirm 100%. As folks rearrange their travel schedules to come in a day early I want to make sure it's not something that is at risk of also getting pushed. I know it's impossible to guarantee but can you give your best sense of whether the 1pm on 5/19 will hold? Many thanks!

Good afternoon, Attached is a request from Jeff Farrah, CEO of the Autonomous Vehicle Industry Association (AVIA), for a meeting with Secretary Duffy at USDOT on May 20, 2025. The meeting would include CEOs and other senior executives from leading autonomous vehicle companies that are members of AVIA. We plan to discuss the need for USDOT to advance a federal Autonomous Vehicle framework and provide AVIA's recommendations for policies that would constitute such a framework. We also hope to share information and answer questions about the state of the AV industry in the United States, such as the number of autonomous miles driven and the location of testing and deployment. Thank you for your consideration and please reach out with any questions. Ariel Ariel S.
