Sean Duffy has been confirmed as the new transportation secretary, following a bipartisan vote of 77-22 in the Senate. The former Wisconsin congressman, known for his promises of safer Boeing planes, reduced regulations, and support for U.S. companies in self-driving car development, will now lead the Department of Transportation.
With a focus on restoring global confidence in Boeing, Duffy aims to enhance safety standards, hire more air traffic controllers, and streamline regulations for self-driving cars. Despite his commitment to federal rules in this area, he made it clear that investigations into companies like Tesla will continue without bias.
