Business | Robotaxis that violate California rules of the road will soon be ticketed. Here's how by Karen Garcia

AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

Starting July 1, California will let law‑enforcement officers issue “notice of AV non‑compliance” citations directly to autonomous‑vehicle manufacturers when a driverless car breaks traffic laws—a shift from the previous rule that only human drivers could be cited. The change, driven by Assembly Bill 1777, closes a legal gap highlighted by incidents such as a Waymo vehicle making an illegal U‑turn in front of police, failing to stop for a school bus, and striking a child, which left officers unable to enforce traditional penalties. Under the new system, the DMV will review each notice, investigate, and may require remediation or suspend a manufacturer’s operating permit if problems persist; the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration will continue to handle recalls. The regulations also set testing mileage thresholds, mandate annual safety‑plan updates, emergency geofencing authority, remote‑operator licensing standards, and new data‑reporting requirements, while lifting weight limits that previously barred heavy autonomous freight and transit vehicles.

Waymos, robotaxis can now be ticketed by California police. But how exactly?

Driverless cars haven't always obeyed the rules of the road but, unlike vehicles with humans behind the wheel, they've gotten away with it. That's about to change in California.

I love how the #Zoox vehicles actually look like they are designed for moving around an urban environment, and not just bolted onto vehicles meant for barreling down freeways at deadly speeds.

I just wish the company wasn't owned by #JeffBezos.

The bidirectional design has some clear advantages for a working taxi.
