One driverless taxi service plans to stretch its presence into the South Bay, after years of testing its autonomous technology.
Robotaxi company Waymo is expanding its coverage area down the peninsula into Sunnyvale. The self-driving San Francisco fixture will roll out in parts of San Mateo County first, causing angst for local officials who have no authority over how robotaxis operate on the roads. One state senator is trying to level the autonomous automotive playing field.
Supervisor Otto Lee said local governments understand their regions best and should be included in the decision-making process for autonomous vehicles. Lee said local governments should be able to limit the number of self-driving cars on their roads, and establish processes for emergency services to be able to override the cars' systems if necessary.
