Autonomous vehicles are already under strict regulation by state agencies in California. #SB915 would allow city and county governments to set local rules, in addition to the state’s rules, to deter autonomous vehicles from operating in their justifications. It’s a back door ban.

Hard to find more backwards policymaking right now than pushes to ban autonomous vehicles. Setting us back decades with a single vote.

Contact your CA rep about SB915 if you like Waymo, because there are ongoing+real efforts to ban it: “There is an effort in CA to establish local control over driverless cars. As we know from housing, localism is a good way to block stuff without explicitly saying it."

THIS. I am on a flight back from Phoenix -- where I rode in a driverless @Waymo to the airport -- and I was wishing that we could give every person the experience. It is smooth and safe and clean and easy.

A car driver who purposefully drove 80+ mph on a street with a speed limit of 25 mph and killed a man walking in the crosswalk got the following, unacceptable sentence: 1️⃣ A few months in jail 2️⃣ Diversion program 3️⃣ $58,000 in restitution And the street still isn’t redesigned.
#SB915 took another step forward in #CALeg tonight. If adopted, local governments will be able to implement arbitrary rules (such as set caps and limit hours of operation) that result in AV services not operating in many parts of the state. The DMV and CPUC are perfectly capable…

“It’s a major, major loss for older people…It’s been described to me as dehumanizing.” Autonomous vehicles can give seniors and other groups with transportation challenges the independence to get around safely and conveniently without personal vehicles. nytimes.com/2024/04/19/wel…

“The reason for AVs is to increase the number of transit opportunities, increase the number of deliveries that can be made, whether you’re elderly or whether you have other kinds of issues, increase your options in terms of being able to go,” said @chambermv's Peter Katz. #SB915

@CalTeamstersPAC We support reasonable AV regulations. We don't support Teamster bills written specifically to halt AVs in California. Over the past week, half a dozen CA lawmakers have described exactly how SB 915 would effectively ban autonomous vehicles. They're not wrong.
“Recent debates over the future of self-driving trucks in California ignored some of the most important voices: the truck drivers working on these technologies every day.” Prior to joining @KodiakRobotics, served in the military for nearly two decades. After being honorably…
It's also worth listening in to testimony against SB 915 from Shannon Dillon, with the @nfb_cal. NFB has written that blind and low-vision people will be one of the largest beneficiaries of AVs, which represent a reliable pathway to independence, and ultimately, to equality.
More California Senators raised concerns with local AV ban legislation (SB 915) at yesterday's Transportation Committee hearing. AVs have the power to reduce traffic fatalities by eliminating distracted and drunk driving. But local AV bans could shelve this new technology.
Important rewatch ahead of today's #SB915 hearing SB915 would allow cities to effectively ban AVs, creating serious equity and accessibility problems for Californians
CA lawmakers in yesterday's autonomous vehicle hearing had major concerns about SB915, a bill enabling municipalities to ban and tax AVs. As one senator said, the bill creates a "political checkerboard" for AVs, undermining an innovation that will improve road safety. Listen in:
love that bay area politicians refuse to build protected bike lanes and also stopped traffic enforcement and also keep trying to ban enforcement cameras and autonomous vehicles

My mother and nephew are visiting this week from rural NH. He loves cars, and I am really excited that at the age of 4 he'll be able to ride in his first driverless car thanks to @Waymo. These people can't fight the better world that's coming, no matter how hard they try.
This @FT piece is the best examination of US crash deaths that I've seen in ages. The US is so bad at this: "Even after adjusting for distance driven, US fatality rates remain 2x the rich-world average." Here's a quick 🧵 to share insights (paywall). ft.com/content/9c936d…

A recap of today's #SB915 hearing ⬇️ By requiring every single local government in the state to pass an AV ordinance, SB 915 would halt AVs’ progress in California and harm those seeking new mobility opportunities.
#SB915 is up in the #CALeg Local Government Committee now. The bill would allow local governments to implement arbitrary rules that restrict autonomous vehicles from operating throughout the state. Livestream here: senate.ca.gov/media-live-eve…
The AV industry joins with +65 disability, city, business & transit voices to OPPOSE SB915, a bill that would halt AVs’ progress in California and hurt those seeking new mobility options. Read the coalition's letter for concerns with the legislation: theavindustry.org/resources/CA-S…
#SB915 illustrates why policymaking is about knowing not just which tool is right for the job, but which expert should do it. If you already have two expert electricians rewiring your house, you're not going to call 500+ laymen and invite them to help.

A CA bill being backed by San Francisco & other cities - SB 915, being heard in a key committee today - would let city governments have veto power over whether autonomous vehicles come to their cities. This from a city that is still using floppy disks to run its train system:
