Waymo's self-driving taxis, which are seen frequently in San Francisco, received the green light to operate on the Peninsula.
With approval from the California Public Utilities Commission and the DMV, Waymo's self-driving taxis, which are seen frequently in San Francisco, have the green light to operate on the Peninsula.The move is getting pushback from state and local officials, including San Mateo County Supervisor David Canepa.'It looks like we're bringing the San Francisco circus to town at higher speeds,' he said.
'While we support the innovation of autonomous vehicle technology, it's crucial that regulation occurs at both state and local levels to maintain the public safety standards that California upholds for all vehicles on our roads. My SB 915 will empower local communities with oversight over autonomous vehicles, ensuring that the safety of our streets is a collaborative effort between state and local authorities.
