Clashing with the state Legislature and California's biggest cities over safety, the Newsom administration races ahead with driverless vehicle deployment.
As robotaxi companies plan to provide service in Los Angeles, San Francisco officials battle with state regulators over robotaxi safety.The Legislature itself in 2021 put all power over autonomous vehicle safety in the hands of the DMV. Robotaxi fares are regulated by the California Public Utility Commission. Newsom appointed DMV head Steve Gordon, a Silicon Valley businessman, to his post.
DMV regulations require human safety drivers in experimental robot vehicles, and the DMV decides when the experiment is over and the vehicles are ready for deployment. Tesla is using its own customers to experiment on public roads with its Full Self-Driving technology, but the DMV has said that’s OK, because the Tesla customers are legally required to pay attention.The DMV also bans a company from falsely marketing autonomous technology to customers.
Newsom rarely speaks about the DMV. Asked by a reporter in May whether he was concerned about legislator criticisms of the agency, Newsom said he has “great confidence” in Gordon and his team.
