The driverless car service, Waymo, has said it will be starting rides in Los Angeles on Thursday, after getting the green light from state regulators earlier this month.
Lena HowlandSan Mateo County files appeal with state regulators over the fast approval of Waymo's driverless taxi expansion."I don't want to hear about any more accidents in the way or hurting anybody or being in the way of an emergency vehicle," said Wendy Cohen, a Daly City resident.CA approves Waymo robotaxi operations in San Mateo County, LA
It was expected to last up to 120 days, but it got the green light after 11 days, after the CPUC says Waymo updated their "passenger safety plan."Waymo's robotaxi expansion beyond SF temporarily suspended as part of review "This is like beyond the wild west. I mean, I think they had more rules in each town during the wild west days than we have with autonomous vehicles right now," said State Senator Dave Cortese.Which is why South Bay Senator Cortese is working to pass SB 915, which would give local governments control over autonomous cars, instead of the state.
