    Democrats and Republicans can't get on the same page about most things, but robots driving cars is apparently a-okay no matter your political affiliation. After the House approved a bipartisan pact, both sides in the Senate agreed to a deal making it easier for Ford, GM and other automakers to get self-driving cars on public roads. "We expect adoption of self-driving vehicle technologies will save lives, improve mobility for people with disabilities, and create new jobs," Senators John Thune (R-SD) and Gary Peters (D-MI) said in a statement.
