FILE - In this March 1, 2017 file photo, people enter the headquarters of Uber in San Francisco. Uber suspended all of its self-driving testing Monday, March 19, 2018, after what is believed to be the first fatal pedestrian crash involving the vehicles. The testing has been going on for months in the Phoenix area, Pittsburgh, San Francisco and Toronto as automakers and technology companies compete to be the first with the technology. Uber's testing was halted after police in a Phoenix suburb said one of its self-driving vehicles struck and killed a pedestrian overnight Sunday.

The Trump administration is ramping up efforts to reduce regulation, and many American industries have their own wishlist of things they want to deregulate. For example, electronic cigarette advocates want to change a regulation requiring "pre-market approval" for all devices and liquids introduced after February 2007. The long-term health effects of "vaping" are currently unknown, and the FDA plans to require product applications in 2022.(AP Photo/Branden Camp)
